This book examines the complex interplay between industrial heritage and tourism. It serves to stimulate meaningful dialogue about the socioeconomic values of industrial sites and the use of tourism for the growth of the creative economy, and to better understand how the collective social memory and local identity connected to these sites have been shaped by different social groups over time. The volume presents a conceptual framework underpinned by case studies drawn from Asia, North America, Australasia and Europe and advocates the creation of mixed-use spaces and stakeholder collaboration to develop tourism at industrial heritage sites. These theoretical and practical perspectives will be of use to researchers and students of heritage tourism, urban and regional planning and tourism marketing.

This book provides a bold and timely analysis of the current state and prospects of industrial heritage tourism, highlighting successes and failures alike, with a particular focus on its heritage/economy/urban regeneration nexus. The reasoning is based on an impressive body of international references and fieldwork while embedding the theme in post-modern discourses and stressing the need for spatio-temporal contextualisation.
