Post-Industrial Redevelopment Site Design Reclamation in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: In the post-industrial era, many manufacturing sites were abandoned and languished. Site reconstruction and redevelopment has become an increasingly popular activity in engineering, urban planning, and design around the world. In Shanghai, many famous industrial heritage sites have been transformed into public facilities, but there are still many other abandoned industrial sites within the community. This study selects a post-industrial site in Shanghai, explores three different alternatives expressing different design concepts. The Friedman two-way analysis of variance by ranks evaluated the results between the three alternatives (traditional design, a green design, an industrial inheritance design) across 25 planning, design, engineering criteria. The analysis revealed that at least one treatment was significantly better than another treatment (p<0.05). A multiple comparison indicated that the industrial inheritance alternative was significantly better (p<0.05). This research can assist engineers, landscape architects, urban planners, architects, and others interested in assessing alternatives in industrial site reclamation.
