Abstract

The regeneration of derelict manufacturing sites—as part of the “three olds” policy—is now pushed forward through incentive policies and, to a great extent, depending on the officially planned future uses. Still space is left for negotiations and creative ideas. This chapter focuses on those sites preferring adaptive reuse of derelict industrial sites in Guangzhou and Shenzhen and examines how the redevelopment policies work at the operational level as well as the renovation strategies of case studies in the two cities.
