ADAPTATION OF LVIV INDUSTRIAL TERRITORIES TO MODERN CONDITIONS

The article presents the practices of industrial sites adaptation to the modern requirements using the example of Lviv. It has been analysed, that implementation of brand new technologies for production caused the shift in urban development pattern. This has led to the operation cessation of industrial areas, which are surrounded by residential and public buildings, resulted in their breakdown, and become a condition for their perception as the “exclusion zone”, which hinders planning and functional city development. The industrial sites now are a land reserve, which are gradually integrated into established urban environment using different methods.

There were identified the town-building centres of functioning, degraded, revitalized industrial zones by the case of Lviv. There were detected successful, well thought out revitalization programs, and reimagining of those industrial estates, which have a negative impact on the image of the city, as a Polaron plant. Due to the situation in the city of Lviv, carrying out a comprehensive analysis of industrial land with a view to updating them is a topical issue. So, for that to happen there were five main approaches brought for the restitution of industrial territories to the city structure. These approaches incorporate: industrial function preservation by means of a complete refurbishing or rebuilding of the object; partial re-functionalization; complex restructuring; environmental rehabilitation; unprofitable industrial facilities dismantling.

Сonsidering the Lviv planning analysis, and using current approaches, there was an offered of industrialized urban areas re-functionalization. The process of industrial areas revitalization is being seen in conjunction with the transport network and social infrastructure development, and implementation of health policies. There is also a city urbanization map formed after reviewing the conditions of Lviv industrial objects. It takes into account the development of the degraded area, interrelated and connected with the neighboring municipalities by the new traffic interchange vehicle-to-pedestrian connections for comfortable mobility.

The conclusions are based on prospects for implementation of degraded areas redefinition within the town planning analysis, so each building could be considered as a part of the urban framework, not as a separate construction.
