What does this research mean for the field?

Adaptive capacity in post-industrial heritage reuse depends on the alignment of governance, project time, and intervention strategy, requiring knowledge transfer to be treated as disciplined translation of configuration knowledge rather than the replication of best-practice templates. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

The aim is to analyze how adaptive reuse projects evolve through complex interactions of governance, funding, and design decisions.

Examines adaptive reuse outcomes in seven European cities, highlighting governance and strategy interactions.

Key Points

The aim is to analyze how adaptive reuse projects evolve through complex interactions of governance, funding, and design decisions.
Seven European projects analyzed through case reconstruction and comparative analysis.
Focus on dimensions such as governance, finance, and social impact.
Examined different strategies like retention, replacement, and incremental occupation.
Adaptive capacity varies based on governance alignment and project strategies.
Time for adaptation is influenced by funding and institutional stability.
Ten lessons on adaptive reuse are derived, emphasizing the importance of context-specific governance and social objectives.
