This timely book explores the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage through the lenses of decolonization and climate resilience. Author Asma Mehan presents a critical framework for understanding and reinvigorating industrial remains as evolving infrastructures that foster ecological and social transformation. Chapters highlight the need for new models of reuse that advance circular economies, inclusive governance and spatial equality. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, from grain silos to oil towns, Mehan connects digital technologies like Geographic Information System and AI with community-driven approaches, proposing adaptive reuse as a core strategy for climate response and urban regeneration. The book provides a roadmap for revitalizing post-industrial spaces and entities with care, culture and accountability. Decolonizing Industrial Heritage is a key resource for students and scholars in heritage studies, planning, architecture and urban studies. It is also beneficial for heritage, development and indigenous rights practitioners, as well as professionals in international development agencies and NGOs.
