“…De-industrialisation as a concept has variously been defined in developed countries as well as developing countries (Harvey, 1990). There have also been different understandings of conservation and development (Oevermann and Mieg, 2015). Oevermann and Mieg (2015) argue that industrial heritage sites are crucial parts of urban transformation and its planning practices.…”

“…These buildings are reused and preserved to prevent the destruction of social memories of a community. Industrial heritage is not only associated with identity and memories, traditions and labour movements; it is also connected with the development of cities and sites (Swensen and Rikke, 2013; Oevermann and Mieg, 2015). There are many ways to deal with industrial heritage sites including heritage conservation and urban development planning (Oevermann, 2020) as well as the industrial heritage tourism management (Perfetto and Vargas-Sánchez, 2018).…”

PurposeIndustrial heritage is considered an essential part of cultural heritage in the world. This heritage suffers from continued marginalisation in the Arab world, particularly in Jordan, where many industrial heritage sites have not been protected or studied well due to the lack of a clear definition of cultural heritage. Most of these sites, built in the 20th century, are gradually disappearing or scheduled for demolition. This paper explores the de-industrialisation discourse and the loss of modern industrial heritage in the Arab world, especially in Jordan.Design/methodology/approachThis research investigates the modern industrial heritage in Jordan as a case study in the Arab world. A comprehensive understanding of the industrial heritage has been obtained by adopting a case study approach and using a reconnaissance survey of potential industrial heritage sites in Jordan.FindingsSeven categories were used in the analysis of the de-industrialisation phenomenon of heritage sites: ownership, location, design and types; structure, significance, deterioration and physical condition and conservation attempts and alterations. Three main approaches to industrial heritage were identified: demolition, occasional maintenance and rare examples of conservation and adaptive reuse.Research limitations/implicationsThis study sheds light on the ownership issue of industrial structures in Jordan and invites policymakers, relevant authorities, private organisations and the public to consider the challenges and impact of de-industrialisation of such sites.Originality/valueThis research raises awareness of the de-industrialisation discourse, and highlights the value of industrial architecture dating back to the modernity period, which was short-lived in Jordan. It also calls for serious consideration of these sites to support sustainable development in the Arab World.

“…There are many examples of how the international recognition of former industrial cities (Manchester, Glasgow, Lille, the Ruhr, Pécs, among others) has been achieved by flagship projects (Carley et al 2000, Borina & Paunović 2015, Oevermann & Mieg 2015, Pintér & Csapó 2016.…”

”Katowice effect”? Regeneration of the site of the former Katowice coal mine through prestige cultural projects

This paper aims to give an in–depth account of the regeneration of the site of the former Katowice coalmine, by far the largest regeneration venture financed by the public sector on a post-industrial site in Poland, and to capture the primary outcomes and effects of this prestige project. Contrary to a simplified interpretation of a ‘Polish Bilbao effect’, the authors argue that the Culture Zone follows a unique development model that was driven by a coincidence of such factors as the situation of a major (post-) industrial conurbation seeking a new identity, the availability of external funding, chance events (with the origins of some of them dating back to WW2), and pre-existing spatial factors. The study area has been diagnosed to include all the positive effects of flagship projects, as well as most of the weaknesses associated with such a type of regeneration. All in all, it is a successful undertaking given the external conditions under which it has been implemented.

“…Methodologically, the paper uses a stakeholder approach and discourse analysis (Mitchell et al. , 1997; Oevermann and Mieg, 2014). It is based on field observation (2019 and 2022), participant observation, four in-depth interviews with stakeholders conducted in 2019, policy analysis, as well as thematic and content analysis of media and social media.…”

PurposeThe paper discusses ethical issues related to the adaptive reuse of ruin heritage on the example of the so-called ruin bars in Budapest's District VII. It explores how heritage discourse can contribute to the sustainable development of urban neighborhoods. The authors address the question by focusing on how a processual approach can be instrumental in identifying responsible and socially sustainable ways to reuse dilapidated heritage in a residential area.Design/methodology/approachThe problem is analyzed through a case study based on field observation, participant observation, stakeholder interviews, policy analysis and media and social media content analysis.FindingsThe authors argue that ethical reuse of ruin heritage must take into consideration the values and interests of multiple stakeholders and the broadest range of consequences at the level of neighborhood and city. An integrated heritage and planning policy should consider and involve as active participants all the heritage communities concerned. Importantly, these groups, comprising both new and longtime residents, must include the vulnerable and marginalized.Practical implicationsThe findings can be used by heritage managers for identifying and addressing ethical issues in their adaptive heritage reuse practices and by policymakers for integrating heritage management in urban development and making cities more inclusive (SDG #11).Originality/valueThe paper explores how ethical it is for business enterprises to build on the ruin esthetics in a residential district and what the ethical implications of this reuse process are for various stakeholders.
