‘With the emergence of community-led approaches and
tools for the interpretation and valuation of cultural
heritage (critical heritage, cultural mapping, etc.), adaptive
reuse strategies have been diversified, using design and
conservation as tools to regenerate historic and heritage
places while promoting their tangible and intangible
heritage dimensions. Thus, this Special Issue aims to serve
as a platform to assemble such recent and innovative
research findings and draw attention to different
approaches relating to the field of adaptive reuse and
architectural conservation. Through an open access mode,
this Special Issue intends to disseminate this knowledge
widely at a time when the heritage context is facing critical
challenges posed by urbanisation and the need for
economic development. The discussion in this Special
Issue intends to cover diverse types of historic and modern
heritage.’
