The transformation of industrial heritage is a key issue in global urban renewal and sustainable development. With the decline of traditional manufacturing industries, numerous industrial heritage sites face challenges such as functional degradation, spatial vacancy, and reduced social integration. However, industrial heritage not only carries significant historical and cultural value but also holds great potential for adaptive reuse, contributing to innovation-driven urban development, industrial upgrading, and public cultural formation. Therefore, the critical question in contemporary research is how to systematically evaluate the influencing factors of transformation through a scientific assessment framework and optimize design strategies based on collaborative relationships. This study first reviews the theoretical evolution of global industrial heritage conservation and transformation, focusing on the development of interdisciplinary integrated models.
