Revitalization in Asia

Adaptive Reuse in Macao, Mumbai, and Penang

Useful case studies on sustainability and revitalization in Asia.

Revitalization in Asia offers a clear understanding of the value of sustainable adaptive reuse within an Asian context. Three highly urbanized places—Macao, Mumbai, and Penang —are considered in detail through essays and timelines that examine both conservation and planning perspectives. Six essays look at the connection between adaptive reuse and the three dimensions of sustainability regarding the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, for each location, five case studies offer a comparative framework for understanding similarities and differences between adaptive reuse projects.

Reviews

“I find the short essays are really useful as specific entries can be set as reading assignment. As such the essays are very well set out in that they can be read as part of a greater whole as well as independently.”

Aylin Orbasli, Oxford Brookes University

“The essays in the book are useful tools to prompt thought and discussion whilst the case studies provide actual examples of some of the concepts. The book would be useful for practioners such as architects, conservationists, and developers, as well as educators and students.”

Brian Anderson, Chinese University of Hong Kong
