This thesis explores the strategic approaches to the preservation and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage, specifically focusing on the Minet El-Basal district in Alexandria, Egypt. The study is framed within the broader context of industrial heritage conservation, addressing the global challenges and methodologies for preserving industrial sites. Key themes include the historical evolution of conservation practices in Egypt, the unique industrial heritage of Alexandria, and the socio-economic and environmental implications of repurposing abandoned industrial buildings. The research delves into the reasons for the abandonment of industrial buildings and examines the role of industrial archaeology in safeguarding these sites. A significant portion of the study is dedicated to the adaptive reuse strategies, with a detailed case study of Minet El-Basal.
