Industrial quarters. Redevelopment as a tool for the integrated development of the Moscow industrial zones that have lost their purpose

Abstract

The study was prepared in connection with the need to form effective mechanisms for the integrated development of the former industrial zones to achieve the strategic development goals of Moscow. Subject of the study: identification of territorial potential, priorities of urban development, determination of approaches and possible vectors of transformation of the former industrial zones. The industrial zones considered in this study are located mainly in the middle and peripheral zones (so-called the “rust belt”) and can become centers for the formation of new public and business spaces, a territorial resource for the polycentric scenario of the city development. The objects of study were 21 industrial zones located on the area of 30 Moscow districts, including 38 ITD areas (Integrated territorial development). Formalized models and detailed recommendations were prepared for the 13 pilot ITD areas.
