Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Urban areas worldwide are facing the challenge of revitalizing post-industrial areas to meet the needs of contemporary society while preserving their historical significance. This thesis explores the potential of sustainable design interventions in urban regeneration to transform post-industrial areas into vibrant and resilient spaces. The research aims to investigate the effectiveness of sustainable design strategies in revitalizing post-industrial areas, focusing on their environmental, social, and economic impacts. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the research topic, outlining the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. The chapter sets the foundation for the study by highlighting the importance of sustainable design interventions in urban regeneration. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review on urban regeneration, sustainable design, and post-industrial areas. The review explores existing theories, case studies, and best practices in sustainable design interventions, providing a theoretical framework for the research. Chapter 3 details the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter outlines the steps taken to investigate the effectiveness of sustainable design interventions in urban regeneration. Chapter 4 discusses the findings of the research, presenting the outcomes of the study in relation to the research objectives. The chapter analyzes the environmental, social, and economic impacts of sustainable design interventions in post-industrial areas, highlighting their potential benefits and challenges. Chapter 5 concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, discussing their implications for urban regeneration practice, and suggesting recommendations for future research. The chapter underscores the importance of sustainable design interventions in transforming post-industrial areas into sustainable and resilient urban spaces. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on urban regeneration and sustainable design by providing insights into the potential of sustainable design interventions in revitalizing post-industrial areas. The research offers valuable recommendations for urban planners, policymakers, and designers seeking to create sustainable and vibrant urban environments through innovative design strategies.
