The paper addresses the paradigm of adaptive reuse with a specific focus on issues related to the evaluation and the decision-making processes in this context. In more detail, this paper aims at recognising the main gaps that concern the evaluation process associated with adaptive reuse and providing some points of reflection and a preliminary methodological proposal to evaluate transformation scenarios related to adaptive reuse, through a multidimensional and multi-objective perspective. According to these purposes, this paper describes the implementation of the pillars of adaptive reuse to re-think the Corktown District of the city of Detroit, underlying through a real case study the complexity, the multidimensionality, and the multi-objective challenges of this concept, when implemented in urban planning and the revitalization of historic buildings. According to this scenario, the present paper focuses on issues related to managing the complexity and the multidimensionality of the decision process, under the analysis and evaluation of alternative adaptive-reuse strategies. This research, thus, proposes the application of the Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) technique, based on the Multi-Attribute Value Theory (MAVT), to evaluate and compare different strategic scenarios to re-think the Corktown District of the city of Detroit, according to the principles of adaptive reuse. The final result is a multidimensional evaluation that provides a final ranking of the different proposed alternatives, in order to support the decision-making to select the most suitable transformative scenario, according to the initial purposes of the project.

“…The fourth indicator was activity entropy ( AE ), which has been widely used in research to quantify the diversity of a person's mobility ( Pappalardo et al, 2016 ; Xu et al, 2018 ; Xu et al, 2021 ). Inspired by the diversity evaluation of biotopes in landscape ecology ( Gobattoni et al, 2011 ; Turner and Gardner, 2015 ; Assumma et al, 2021 ), this indicator is defined as the Shannon entropy of a person's stay points and can be calculated as follows:

where

is the j -th unique stay points of a person;

is the stay duration at point

;

denotes the proportion of duration at the unique stay point

. In contrast with the number of visited places, AE considers the duration of stay in each place and can reflect the person's preferences to different places.…”

“…The entropy weight method is an objective weighting method, which uses the magnitude of information provided by the entropy value of each indicator to determine the weight of the indicator. By normalizing the original indicators and defining the weights [70], the objectivity and comprehensiveness of the calculated results are ensured. Similarly, the levels of social urbanization, economic urbanization, the urbanization of the population, and spatial urbanization were calculated using the entropy weight method.…”

The accelerated urbanization process in China has caused a shift in the urban land use structure. The Chinese government has issued ‘the National New-type Urbanization Plan’ focusing on the rational use of resources, which is of great significance for the intensification and sustainability of land use. In promoting the construction of the new-type urbanization (N-TU), enhancing the urban land use efficiency (ULUE) is crucial to regional coordinated development. This study uses panel data from 2011 to 2020 for 11 provinces (cities) in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) and adopts the super efficiency (SE) slacks-based measure (SBM) model with undesirable outputs and the entropy weight method to calculate the ULUE and N-TU levels. The study uses the System generalized method of moment (Sys-GMM) to study the N-TU’s impact on the ULUE empirically. The results indicate: (i) the overall trend of new-type urbanization level is gradually increasing and has the characteristics of uneven spatial distribution between provinces. (ii) The ULUE shows a fluctuating upward trend during the studied period. (iii) The N-TU and its subsystems have significant positive effects on the ULUE. Overall, this study aims to explore the relationship between the N-TU and ULUE enriching the theoretical analysis and empirical research in related fields, thus helping decision makers in the assessment and design of policy recommendations.
