“…While the construction of an HSDI is time and resource-intensive [58,59], the HSDI can serve as a common space-time platform where users of archaeological, historical, and municipal spatial data may connect, share information, and better recognize each other's needs, approaches, and challenges. Ideally, the HSDI can serve as a communal decision-making tool facilitating community heritage-making, archaeologically sensitive urban redevelopment, and city management [60]. While the HSDI is an approach to modeling the past, its most important application lies in addressing the needs of the present: understanding and confronting the industrial legacies of the urban rustbelt.…”

We combine the Historical Spatial Data Infrastructure (HSDI) concept developed within spatial history with elements of archaeological predictive modeling to demonstrate a novel GIS-based landscape model for identifying the persistence of historically-generated industrial hazards in postindustrial cities. This historical big data approach draws on over a century of both historical and modern spatial big data to project the presence of specific persistent historical hazards across a city. This research improves on previous attempts to understand the origins and persistence of historical pollution hazards, and our final model augments traditional archaeological approaches to site prospection and analysis. This study also demonstrates how models based on the historical record, such as the HSDI, complement existing approaches to identifying postindustrial sites that require remediation. Our approach links the work of archaeologists more closely to other researchers and to municipal decision makers, permitting closer cooperation between those involved in archaeology, heritage, urban redevelopment, and environmental sustainability activities in postindustrial cities.

“…However, the challenges of cultural reuse of industrial sites as an alternative to their destruction indicate that beyond the decommissioned buildings and landscapes, there may arise multifold perspectives for capitalization (Florentina-Cristina et al , 2014). Trepal et al . (2019) believe that “heritage itself is often seen as a tool for economic regeneration, and while this can be problematic, the concept of integrating heritage-making, heritage conservation and post-industrial redevelopment clearly has potential” (p. 1).…”

PurposeRegeneration of industrial heritage aims to display the patrimony assets by launching measures to convert them into cultural spaces associated with sustainable initiatives for satisfying environmental, social and economic demands in the city. The adaptive transformation and reusing process of industrial heritage constitutes a crucial cultural objective and consequently must be identified in a way that simultaneously integrates preservation with conversion and conservation with refurbishment. Hence, this paper explores to develop a framework for the sustainable regeneration of industrial heritage in cities.Design/methodology/approachBy reviewing the current literature, research and experiences on urban industrial heritage, including existing approaches, frameworks, and case studies, this study brings a theoretical and conceptual approach to sustainable regeneration of industrial heritage, which is a fundamental start point for conducting further research and performing practical projects.FindingsThree key phases of the Initiation as decision context, including understand the characteristics and assess the significance, the Planning as decision problem, including study the feasibility, develop a policy, and prepare a proposed reuse plan, and the Execution as decision output, including implement the plan, monitor the results and review the plan should be considered regarding the sustainable regeneration of urban industrial heritage.Originality/valueThe suggested framework considers sustainable regeneration of industrial heritage in cities as a decision-making process, which requires defining the decision context, analyzing the decision problem, and finally, results in the decision output. Accordingly, it seems to help bridge the gap between various discourses and planning perspectives and make all stakeholders' involvement easier, more effective and efficient regarding the sustainable regeneration of industrial heritage in cities.

“…Community archaeology is situated in several frameworks. Some of these concern the theory and practice of public archaeology in the round (Gould 2016;Matsuda 2016;Moshenska 2017;Richardson and Almansa-Sánchez 2015); others agonize over the meaning and role of 'community', 'engagement' and 'heritage' (Grima 2016;Matthews 2019;Trepal, Scarlett, and Lafreniere 2019); yet others are political, cultural and financial (González-Ruibal, González, and Criado-Boado 2019;Merriman 2004;Moshenska 2017;Stottman 2016;Watson 2007). This paper is primarily concerned with the last of these.…”

People, places and performance: Reflections on community archaeology and heritage in north-east Wales

This paper explores the transformation of community archaeology and heritage in a particular part of the UK with unique and somewhat conservative sets of structures for delivering public archaeology. The transformation is ongoing and is bounded by a range of theoretical, methodological and institutional constraints. These frameworks provide the context for an account of the successes and failures of projects in north-east Wales. Important strands of thought and action include the role of national identity in place-making and the ways in which national political priorities may need to inform and shape local initiatives. The paper discusses some of the theoretical and practical approaches that may be suited to further developing community archaeology and heritage in Wales and beyond.
