The project “New Industrial Urbanism” rethinks the relationship between production and the city, challenging the tendency to remove productive activities from the urban fabric and separate them from everyday life. In Lod, industrial zones and their infrastructure have created spatial barriers and reinforced disconnection from the surrounding urban fabric. The research asks: How can industry be reimagined as an integrated urban and productive system connecting architecture, production, and the city? The project examines the evolution of factory typologies and the relationship between spatial organization and production processes. Drawing on this research and the possibilities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, it develops a factory model that integrates manufacturing, research and development, and knowledge exchange within a shared productive and social structure. This model forms part of a broader vision for a distributed production network that leverages existing infrastructure, particularly the railway, to connect production nodes with the urban fabric. It aims to make production an active part of urban life and a driver of economic and social development.
