Patterns for the Productive City

... and the new production economy. Featuring the City in 2050, expecting its industry to be cleaner, quieter, in smaller plants and with workers having modern lifestyles.

# Clusters - urban infrastructure - zoning and land use: f.i. "Mixture of Uses" instead of separation of functions - buildings: f.i. "Visible Industries" -> building that show the functions of the building and the internal processes - : Variety of accessibility measures

# A Metapattern "Continuous Productive Industrial Landscapes"

# The Validation of Patterns

Patterns have different kinds of origins and different kinds of application and therefore different kinds of validation. Howard identified 5 different ways of validation: 1. informal observation of successful places and practices -> Example: cities are doing it 2. generalisation from other patterns, which is a validation through analogy -> Example: there are existing synergies between firms 3. validation through political/social movement -> companies are doing it 4. validation through legal analogy (cf the example of "zoning bonuses for industrial space" analogous with incentives for affordable housing 5. validation through space synthesis and the analysis of the historic situation

# Discussion "Zoning Bonuses for Industrial Space" - with the precedent of incentive zoning for public amenities or affordable housing, so why not use sth similar to incentivize cheap industrial space -> How does this interplay , with "desirable social change"?
