*1.2. Literature Review*

The most recent studies have indicated the latest trends and directions in the field of industrial heritage reconstruction and reuse; in particular, research published in the past five years has been more representative and leading of the field. Therefore, in this paper, we reviewed the literature published from 1 January 2017 to 1 August 2022, and found that the authors of the reviewed literature came from Europe, North America, China, Japan, and even the Middle East. They include but are not limited to scholars, architects, government officials, and heads of associations, which shows the diversity of industrial heritage research subjects participants. Some independent literature is jointly completed by different people from different institutions, countries, and even fields, and the reviewed literature also appears in various forms. Hence, our literature review is not limited to journal articles, as it also includes books and monographs, dissertations, and conference papers, and this literature review is as accurate and complete as possible. As we assembled these different types of literature formats, we provided in this paper the state of the research on industrial heritage reconstruction and reuse.
