Post-Industrial Landscapes
Post-industrial landscapes refer to areas that have undergone significant changes due to the decline of traditional industries, such as manufacturing and mining. These regions often feature abandoned factories, warehouses, and infrastructure that once supported economic activities. As industries move or shut down, the land is left to evolve, sometimes leading to urban decay or opportunities for redevelopment.
In many cases, post-industrial landscapes are transformed into parks, residential areas, or cultural spaces, promoting community engagement and environmental restoration. Examples include the High Line in New York City and the Millennium Park in Chicago, which repurpose former industrial sites into vibrant public spaces.
