“…The role of community in the redevelopment process is not necessarily decisive (although it can be an influencing factor), even though relevant theories and studies have asserted that communities cannot be ignored as an important force (Cowen 1990;Samuel 1994;Stamp 1987;Urry 2002;Landorf 2009Landorf , 2011Oevermann et al 2016). Tourism is however an important factor in this process.…”

“…Europe provides over 30 years of experience in projects dealing with the recent industrial past (Saurí-Pujol and Llurdés-Coit 1995;Hospers 2002;Kift 2011;Oevermann et al 2016). With a view to solving these social problems, industrial structures and old buildings were often knocked down or rebuilt for new commercial projects (Chang et al 1996;Tan et al 2014;Mine 2013;Yung et al 2013).…”

“…The first concerns the community's attitude toward tourism remodeling, which many studies indicate has a critical impact on the redevelopment process, especially in its initial phases. For example, the local community of Oberschöneweide, in Berlin, actively participated in the development process in a number of ways because they valued their industrial heritage (Oevermann et al 2016). The second concerns the importance of integrated community development, since very often, state-led tourism projects emphasize economic growth at the expense of social well-being (Tweed and Sutherland 2007;Yung et al 2013).…”

“…A nuanced understanding of industrial heritage redevelopment must in addition to architecture and urban planning perspectives, also consider the role of community (see for example Cowen 1990;Samuel 1994;Stamp 1987;Urry 2002;Landorf 2009Landorf , 2011Oevermann et al 2016). The local community often exercises a strong voice in regard to industrial heritage reuse projects (Urry 2002), and may even themselves determine whether a particular site will be restored or passed over.…”

Any study of industrial heritage redevelopment should consider the conflicts inherent in the preservation process, and especially the role of the local community. An invested community can help preserve its own heritage, and balance policy formulated to create rapid development without any community involvement. This paper employs qualitative data collected at Taigucang Wharf, a former industrial zone in Guangzhou, China, to analyse the role of the local community in the restoration of this industrial heritage site as a tourist attraction. The findings show that once the site was completed, the role of community shifted from bystanders to benefit recipients, and subsequently advocates of the heritage restoration process. Tourism plays an important role in balancing the demands of preservation and development.

Reimagining unfinished architectures: ruin perspectives between art and heritage

For the past five decades, hundreds of unfinished public works have been erected in Italy as the result of inconsistent planning and the presence of corruption and organised crime. A third of these constructions are located in Sicily alone and so, in 2007, a group of artists labelled this phenomenon an architectural style: 'Incompiuto Siciliano'. Through this creative approach, the artists' objective is to put incompletion back on the agenda by viewing it from a heritage perspective. This article reviews the different approaches that the artists have envisaged to handle unfinished public works; whether to finish them, demolish them, leave them as they are or opt for an 'active' arrested decay. The critical implications of these strategies are analysed in order to, ultimately, conclude that incompletion is such a vast and complex issue that it will surely have more than one single solution; but rather a combination of these four. This is important because it opens up a debate on the broad spectrum of possibilities to tackle incompletion-establishing this as one of the key contemporary urban themes not only in Italy but also in those countries affected by unfinished geographies after the 2008 financial crisis.
