The thesis aims to study the evolution of the industrial conservation philosophy in China and its practices on management, through the lens of the national Chinese law.
Considering the latest attention of the government on industrial heritage sites, the research would like to track the evolution of Chinese policies and strategies on the protection and management of industrial legacy since April 2006 when, at the first China Industrial Heritage Protection Forum in Wuxi, the draft notes of the congress, after revision and promulgation by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, became the first constitutional document on industrial heritage protection.
