Revitalization — from Latin re… — restoration and vita — life, literally: return of life

Over time, something in cities decays and becomes unnecessary, ceases to be in demand, businesses close, and abandoned and neglected buildings remain.
The process of revitalization allows for the reconstruction of buildings and structures while changing their purpose.

Revitalization of industrial facilities

Revitalized enterprises become, for example:
office centers, shopping and entertainment complexes, art centers, cultural hubs, coworking spaces, creative and multifunctional areas.
This allows for improving the appearance of urban space, freeing it from outdated industrial facilities, and organizing the territory.

In the process of revitalization, it is important to preserve:

  • authenticity
  • identity
  • uniqueness
  • material heritage of the urban environment

Examples of successful revitalization of industrial enterprises:

the "Manufactura" factory in the city of Łódź (Poland) — one of the most successful projects for the restoration of production facilities and their transformation into cultural landmarks;
Sheffield Cultural Industrial Quarter (United Kingdom), which houses Yorkshire Studios of Spatial Arts, the Audiovisual Entrepreneurship Center, a nightclub, Management Studios, Sheffild Science Park, Site Photography gallery, etc.
Ukraine
Unit City on the territory of the Kyiv Motorcycle Plant, Kyiv (Ukraine);
Kyiv Food Market on the site of the "Arsenal" factory workshops, Kyiv (Ukraine);
The "Promprylad.Renovation" project in Ivano-Frankivsk (Ukraine).

Positive results of revitalization for stakeholders:

city residents — receive instead of dilapidated, abandoned buildings, facilities for recreation, development, and employment.
city authorities — jobs, tax revenues to city budgets, improvement of urban amenities.
business — opportunities for development and profit.

The project is in the revitalization stage. The industrial area is being transformed into a multifunctional space where one can work, study, relax, create, engage in sports, taste, and simply enjoy life. The location consists of several buildings housing KIVSH residents. Among the first residents are the global coworking Regus, the new format sports club Smartass, the international network of beauty bars G.Bar, the product design and branding agency Qubstudio, the advertising holding VTMN, the café-pastry shop Cheese Bakery, and others.
