2.1　Financing Difficulties and Lack of Effective Policy Support

Firstly,the protection of industrial heritage lacks special financial support from the government.In the process of protection and innovative utilization of industrial heritage,the original cultural relics and buildings should be repaired and maintained,which means that a large amount of financial support is needed in the early stage.However,there are few cities in China with special funds and policies,and local governments lack the basis for protecting industrial heritage.

heritage protection cases are mainly government-led and invested,lack of access

to social funds and systematic financial supporting methods to provide theoretical support,which makes industrial heritage protection unable to scale up,and cannot form a linkage effect.Therefore,preferential policies and incentives can be set up for industrial heritage protection projects,such as public bidding or public-private joint venture system.When enterprises and individuals intending to maintain and improve industrial heritage put forward relevant requirements,preferential loan interest rates and optimization of approval procedures can also be given.A certain proportion of tax credits can also be set for repairing expenses to encourage enterprises to maintain and construct,etc.to attract the intervention of social capital.
