Under the current economic pressure, cities are no longer able to develop the way they used to, especially in the regeneration of unused industrial areas, which have become increasingly in demand due to lack of housing and infrastructure. Although nearby, they represent disconnected areas from the city centers. Considering that city expansion and large regeneration schemes remain as unrealized master-plans due to shortage of public funds and lack of incentive to private initiatives, it’s now a challenge to devise schemes which could trigger progressive regeneration in harmony with existing urban structures.
