Abstract
Redevelopment of industrial buildings in Moscow: from factories to new urban spaces
Incoming article date: 18.04.2025The article is devoted to the analysis of the process of redesigning industrial buildings in Moscow in the context of urban development of the city. Based on data from the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy (2023), the current state of industrial zones (hereinafter referred to as industrial zones) is being investigated: 25% of the 150 facilities have already been redeveloped, and over 80 enterprises have been moved outside the MKAD since 2010. Successful transformations (ZIL, Hammer and Sickle, Red October) and criteria for choosing new functionality are considered: location, historical value, ecology, transport accessibility. Using cartographic data, promising areas for renovation (AZLK plant, Compressor, Rubber) have been identified and options for their adaptation have been proposed, from creative clusters to residential complexes. The role of redevelopment in the sustainable development of the city, the need to comply with environmental standards and take into account the needs of local communities is emphasized.
