About This Book
Developing Industrial and Mining Heritage Sites offers a multifaceted examination of the challenges and opportunities in the development of industrial & mining heritage.
It does so through the case study of Lavrion, Turkey, by examining the historical process of this former mining site which has turned intoa site of industrial and cultural heritage. It explores the ruins and monuments which could be considered the industrial & mining heritage of Lavrion, the restoration, and rehabilitation of the mine buildings, and describes the activities succeeded through the management of a university and through the provided finance on an abandoned mining site. The book also highlights the challenges experienced from the restoration of an abandoned mine site until it turned into an industrial & mining heritage.
This book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of industrial heritage & tourism, urban conservation, mining history, post mining, archaeology, archaeometallurgy, geology and mineralogy, as well as policy makers and industry professionals.
