Abstract
Redeveloping industrial heritage sites is a good way to preserve their cultural-historial value instead of demonlishing it. With a qualitative research approach this thesis researches the effects of the redevelopment of industrial heritage sites on the liveability of nearby residential areas. It tries to find out what aspects contribute the most to a change in liveability. In addition to this the thesis is also about the role of the government in the redevelopment process. The thesis focuses on two redeveloped industrial heritage sites and the surrounding neighbourhoods: the Gasfabriek in Meppel and the Leerlooierij in Heerenveen. The main result is that most important dimension of liveability to change in reaction to the development of the nearby industrial heritage site seems to be the social dimension. This is mainly because the redevelopment reinforces the residents’ sense of place and sense of identity.
