Hybrid Factory, Hybrid City

The book is a compilation of essays from a symposium Hybrid Factory/ Hybrid City that Nina Rappaport convened with Future Urban Legacy Lab at the Politecnico di Torino in February 2020. The authors wrote about their own projects and urban studies to address how to mix and reingrate manufacturing in cities. They address questions such as: How do we break the planning and land use patterns of segregated zoning by class and function? How can we encourage and design mixed-use manufacturing at the building and the city scale? How can the hybrid model change with new technologies, sustainable manufacturing, and advanced production systems? After Covid-19 we are seeing that this mix is more sustainable and resilient. Ultimately the impact will be to encourage, inspire, and help lead cities in a mix of use, sustainable eco-systems, closed loop production that integrates all aspect of the built environment. These kinds of spaces and companies will provide more job opportunities for urban workers and bring new technology skills to workers so that they can learn new methods for manufacturing.
