Urban manufacturing creates the potential for people to live and work in the same community and adds cultural and economic vibrancy to our cities. At the same time, the resurgence of manufacturing activities in our cities challenges outdated architectural thinking about “factory” design as well as established urban land use and zoning policies. building vertically and thus more densely in cities, which, on the other hand, would reinforce the cycles of making, consuming, and recycling as part of a natural feedback loop in a new sustainable urban spatial paradigm … “
