The current stage in the developing relationship between city and industry intensifies the development of heterogeneous environments that include varied industrial activities, and is accelerating the trend of industrial renewal in older industrial zones. Industrial renewal begins with the preservation and development of industry and production, based on a mix of uses that supports and strengthens industry without replacing it. Examples include education, health and welfare services for employees that are designed to increase employment opportunities for residents and accelerate the local economy.
