Foreign heritage of industrial heritage

British Tieqiaogu industrial former site

It has formed an industrial landscape covering an area of 10 square kilometer, which is integrated by 7 industrial memorial sites, museums and 285 protective industrial buildings. At present, about 300,000 tourists visit each year on average. In Britain, the industrial landscape of Brenaveen and its related scenic spots extends to 30 square kilometers, including iron ore yards, limestone quarries, iron furnaces in coal mines, brick factories, tunnels, reservoirs, open-air artificial canals, scattered factories, churches, schools, workers' apartments and surrounding towns, as well as a series of contents such as grasslands and Woods, which has the atmosphere of "ecological museum" and reflects the authenticity and integrity of the industrial landscape.

Ruhr-gebiet

In the early 1960s, the international competitiveness of Ruhr-gebiet's local manufacturing industry was declining, which led to the bankruptcy, closure or relocation of factories and enterprises. How to treat and deal with a large number of abandoned industrial mines, old equipment and industrial vacant buildings has become an important issue. The way to choose Ruhr District is to combine these industrial cultural heritages with tourism development and regional revitalization for strategic development and transformation. The famous Henry Steel Plant was transformed into an open-air museum; Abandoned railways and old train carriages have become art performance places for children in local communities; Thyssen Iron and Steel Company "wiped the coal ash from its face" and became a large-scale landscape park with the coal and iron industry landscape as the background. The abandoned old gas storage tank was transformed into a diving training pool, the cement yard where iron ore was piled up was transformed into a youth activity venue, and the wall was transformed into a paradise for climbers. Some warehouses and factories have been transformed into discotheques and concert halls, and even elegant symphonies are played with the huge iron and steel smelting furnace as the background. In addition, in Oberhausen, a non-ferrous metal mine processing zone, a huge factory building was transformed into a large Moore shopping center, and an industrial museum was opened; The Coca-Cola factory has become an office and exhibition place, attracting many art, creative and design companies. Even the Emschel River, which was originally used as a waste water and sewage discharge pipeline for the whole industrial area, has been restored into a beautiful ecological basin. Ruhr has thus become a world-famous industrial site tourist city.
