Abstract

 In many cities, there is a re-appreciation of the integration of industrial production in urban living. By focusing on the case of Kinshicho (Tokyo), this paper shows that this integration can contribute to activating the city through open public-private urban interfaces. Combining two functions, the buildings classified as residence-combined factories (Jyuukyoheiyoukoujou) provide production within neighborhoods, enhance local identity, and stimulate spotted regeneration. This paper investigates the quality of industrial mixed-use buildings and the interactions between living and production by analyzing its socio-spatial configuration through its public-private urban interface.
