Abstract
Against the background of economic transformation and urban renewal, the protection and sustainable development of urban industrial landscapes has become an important practical issue, and how to maintain the unique local culture of these landscapes is key to solving the problem. By integrating the concept of “layer” and regarding the landscape as text, this paper will investigate the representation of industrial landscapes and the process of changes in power represented by different actors through different texts from the perspective of representation. The paper selected Beijing 798 as the research area to explore the shaping of changes in the industrial landscape of 798 from a weapon manufacturing area to an arts district, creative industry park and the “pan 798” by the factory owners, government, management committee, artists, media and tourists through different presentation forms, revealing the game process of representation of powers among the coalition between artists, management committee and the government. The paper points out that in fact, the representation of industrial landscape by different actors through different texts is a process that continues to explore and define the value of landscape. However, we need to look at this when the value of the industrial landscape is no longer given by localized life practices, but rather depends on different actors to produce and reproduce the value of landscape by representation, and thereby affecting the sustainable development of industrial landscape.
Highlights
With the rapid development of economic globalization and the spread of information industries, the traditional manufacturing sectors in many cities have been relocated, bringing about the phenomenon of de-industrialization [1]
This paper looks at the different actors have created the locality of industrial landscapes through text representation, promoting the sustainable development of the industrial landscape
We explored the relational thinking of place politics and analyzed the ways in which industrial landscape is negotiated by different representation actors. 798 could be seen as a microcosm of the redevelopment process of the industrial landscape in China
Summary
With the rapid development of economic globalization and the spread of information industries, the traditional manufacturing sectors in many cities have been relocated, bringing about the phenomenon of de-industrialization [1]. How to study industrial landscape from a new perspective, inherit and protect urban post-industrial landscape resources to achieve sustainable development are the issues to be discussed in this paper. Due to the emergence of specific laws related to the re-development of these landscapes as well as social pressures, the importance of their reuse to urban development has once again been stressed [4]. How to reuse these abandoned industrial landscapes has become an important topic of discussion in sustainable urban development [5]. It does not destroy the historical and cultural significance of the industrial buildings, and on the other hand, it will help adapt to the new socio-economic requirements [6,7,8]
