Reuse and Redevelopment

Reuse and redevelopment are strategies for managing existing buildings and spaces. Reuse involves adapting current structures for new purposes, such as converting an old factory into apartments, which preserves the building’s character and reduces waste. Redevelopment typically refers to renovating or replacing existing structures with new, often more modern or efficient ones, which can improve functionality and urban aesthetics. Both approaches promote sustainable growth by maximizing the use of existing resources, reducing construction waste, and supporting community development while maintaining urban vibrancy.
