Historical Industrial Buildings and their Real Estate Utilisation: Comparison between Germany and the United Kingdom (Studien zum nachhaltigen Bauen und Wirtschaften)

Both Germany and the United Kingdom have economically vital cities and peripheral locations that contain historic industrial structures or districts. This prompts the question of how to manage historic industrial buildings, and how they can be preserved to maintain their value while simultaneously benefiting future generations. This book focuses on the potential and redevelopment opportunities of historical industrial buildings. While on the one hand, these historical industrial buildings reflect culturally significant buildings and sites deserving of appreciation and hence preservation, on the other hand, they are frequently situated in promising and fascinating locations that could represent significant possibilities for urban development and neighborhood planning.

This publication is part of the series Studien zum nachhaltigen Bauen und Wirtschaften.
