Abstract
As the material carrier of industrial heritage, industrial landscape planning integrates industrial heritage, post-industrial, and industrial tourism landscapes. In this study, we define the concept of industrial landscape planning. As a subsystem of urban planning, we study industrial landscape planning by using the theories and methods of urban planning. As an example, we consider Belgium and identify the main categories of industrial landscape planning as industrial heritage landscape and industrial tourism landscape. We use an ArcGIS spatial analysis tool and kernel density calculations and reveal the characteristics of four clusters of industrial heritage spatial layout in Belgium, which match its located industrial development route. Each cluster has unique regional characteristics that were spontaneously formed according to existing social and natural resources. At the level of urban planning, there is a lack of unified re-creation. Urban planning is relatively separated from the protection of industrial heritage in Belgium.
Highlights
Throughout the history of urban development, a large number of industrial heritages have been left
Industrial landscape planning plays an important role in urban planning and heritage protection, but there is no general and comprehensive understanding of it
We defined the concept of industrial landscape planning, discussed its internal and external relations with urban planning, and explored its application
Summary
Throughout the history of urban development, a large number of industrial heritages have been left. Studies on industrial heritage in the field of urban planning and cultural heritage protection are relatively rich, and the scope of research is deepening, there are no studies on the concept of industrial landscape planning. After an extraordinary expansion in industrial redevelopment and urbanism, extensive industrial heritages exist in Belgium These industrial heritages create challenges for urban development and carry the cultural context of a city, which is of great research value. As one of the material carriers of industrial heritage in Belgium, it is of great practical significance to strengthen the study of industrial landscape planning and to strengthen the protection of the industrial heritage. Based on the theory of industrial landscape planning, in this study we use quantitative geography and ArcGIS spatial analysis technology to analyze the spatial geography of the Belgian industrial heritage projects in the list of the European Route of Industrial Heritage, from the perspective of landscape architecture to reveal the distribution characteristics of its industrial landscape and types of industrial heritage manifestations, and to describe in detail the formation background to provide a relevant reference for the protection and reuse of Belgium’s industrial heritage
