Micro Factories

= project

Description

"Micro-Factories will create new production facilities that transform the knowledge, capacities, and ideas of Savamala into innovative products in new, small production plants.

In recent decades the relationship between urban space and industrial production has been lost. Small-scale production workshops have been replaced by large-scale logistics, and production and sales facilities have been relocated from the city center to the urban periphery. This has led to the loss of microeconomic structures that had greatly contributed to the urban and social qualities of many city´s central zones, which shaped intense street life, vivid neighbourhoods and a shared feeling of local pride and identity.
