| Title of the article | Evolution of architectural and urban planning theories of the location of industrial zones and facilities in the city structure |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. Currently, many large cities are transitioning to a post-industrial economy, while others are reindustrializing their production base in the structure of modern cities in the context of socio-economic changes. The aim of the study is to identify, systematize, and critically analyze the key stages in the development of concepts for integrating industrial zones into the urban structure to form a prospective model for their placement that meets modern socio-economic and environmental requirements. To achieve this aim, the following tasks were addressed: 1. To examine the development and transformation of approaches to the placement of industrial facilities in the urban structure: from initial industrialization and idealistic models, through strict functional zoning, to contemporary integration. 2. To analyze the impact of different urban planning models on the spatial organization, environmental situation and social structure of the city. 3. To define the architectural and urban planning principles for the placement of industrial facilities in modern urban conditions, based on the concepts of flexible zoning, mixed-use development and sustainable development. The main tasks encompass the analysis of the shift in urban planning approaches from “ideal” models to strict functional zoning and modern reintegration, the assessment of each model’s impact on the city’s spatial structure and the formulation of forward-looking principles for the placement of industrial facilities. The systematization identified four key stages: from “situational” industrialization and rigid zoning to post-industrial redevelopment and sustainable reintegration. The need to abandon rigid regulations in favor of flexible models based on mixed-use development and environmentally friendly technologies was demonstrated, allowing for the combination of economic efficiency and sustainable development principles. |
