Abstract：Since the 1990s, industrial heritage has garnered significant attention for its pivotal role in contemporary urban transformation, making it a critical focus in research on the interaction between heritage management and urban development. This paper delves into the dynamics of gentrification in China's Porcelain Capital—Jingdezhen—since the late 20th century, with a particular focus on industrial porcelain heritage and the intricate relationship between heritagization and gentrification. Applying the analytical framework of heritagization that manifests in three concepts—authorized narrative, post-landscape, and performance—this study draws upon primary data from field trips between September 2018 and January 2024, as well as secondary data from 108 research papers on Jingdezhen's industrial porcelain heritage. Employing constructivist grounded theory and a three-step coding strategy, the study identifies three waves of gentrification linked to porcelain heritagization. The findings reveal that the involvement of the creative class and diverse sources of capital has redefined the value and use of urban space in Jingdezhen. The redevelopment tends to prioritize gentrifiers' interests, neglecting the livelihood concerns of marginalized groups and traditional industries. This has resulted in cultural displacement and fragmentation of local identity. This study concludes that the interaction between heritagization and gentrification is not merely a physical redevelopment but also an ideological reconstruction, where the past is redefined to create new cultural representations.
