With the development of the world’s industrial technology to a new era -- the post-industrial era, many manufacturing plants were abandoned and gave way to green space or service industry, among other possibilities. Site reconstruction has become an increasingly popular thing in urban planning and design around the world. In Shanghai, many famous industrial heritage sites have been transformed into public facilities, but there are still many normal industry sites visible in the community. Many of them still have retained a lot of values. There is no accurate set of variables to define what determines the effect of industrial land renovation. This study selects a post- industrial site in Shanghai, conceives three different designs through different concepts, collects and calculates data to analyze different variables in the three different types of designs, and explores new methods to protect these post-industrial sites. The Friedman analysis of comparative methods has been applied to reach a value of 9.51. On the other hand, the value of X, with 2 degrees of freedom, is 5.991. It is smaller than our data of 9.51, which then means the value is effective. Finally, a multiple comparison procedure proves that industrial elements is a more effective way of transformation. This research will help landscape architects, urban planners, and others interested in this topic understand the appropriate steps required for industrial site reconstruction.
