Project Abstract

Abstract
The adaptive reuse of abandoned industrial sites has emerged as a sustainable approach to revitalizing urban environments, addressing the challenges of urban blight and environmental degradation. This research focuses on exploring the potential of adaptive reuse strategies in transforming abandoned industrial sites into vibrant and functional spaces that contribute to the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of urban areas. The study aims to investigate the key factors influencing the success of adaptive reuse projects, identify best practices, and provide recommendations for stakeholders involved in the revitalization of industrial sites. Chapter one provides an introduction to the research topic, presenting the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definition of terms. The literature review in chapter two examines existing research on adaptive reuse, urban revitalization, and the challenges and opportunities associated with repurposing industrial sites. The review highlights key concepts, theories, and case studies that inform the research methodology in chapter three. Chapter three details the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. The chapter outlines the steps taken to investigate adaptive reuse practices and gather insights from stakeholders involved in urban revitalization projects. Chapter four presents the findings of the research, analyzing the success factors, challenges, and outcomes of adaptive reuse projects in urban environments. The discussion delves into the implications of the findings for urban planning, sustainable development, and community engagement. In conclusion, chapter five summarizes the key findings, implications, and recommendations of the research. The study underscores the importance of adaptive reuse as a sustainable approach to repurposing abandoned industrial sites, revitalizing urban areas, and promoting inclusive development. The research contributes to the body of knowledge on urban revitalization strategies and provides insights for policymakers, urban planners, developers, and community stakeholders seeking to enhance the livability and sustainability of cities through adaptive reuse initiatives.
