TOP CHALLENGES:
• industrial complexes were usually built as
closed, inward areas - how to maintain the
maintain the character and blend with the
city at the same time?
• how do we avoid replacing a working class
ghetto with a creative class ghetto?
• how do we make it a win/win situation when
culture is instrumentalised as a way to build
a brand for a commercial development?
• how do we upgrade a space and keep the
original energy?
