Sustainable Fashion Urban Factory - Urban and architectural redevelopment of an industrial site

We are currently facing consequences due to massive production which impacts the environment. In 2015, in the Paris Agreement, the United Nations developed 17 Sustainable Developments Goals to be reached in 2030. Urban redevelopment, urban growth, fashion production, and Industry 4.0 contribute to this achievement. The present thesis discusses these current areas by combining them in a final architectonic and urban project proposal. The work is divided into two main sections. The first one, characterized by the theoretical part, is subdivided into three parts. Firstly, the research emphasized the changes in the fashion industry production due to sustainable issues. Secondly, the work underlines the modifications of French strategies towards sustainable fashion production and industry 4.0. Finally, on the last subdivision, the author reports the impact of urban factories, industrial districts, and sustainability, by providing a panoramic view of the current and future situation of industrial sites. In the second section, the study focuses on the vacant Gresillion industrial site in Gennevilliers, Ile de France. The city is characterized by an industrial port and a major quantity of industrial sites. On the periphery of Paris, the Gennevilliers is the reflection of urban growth. The urban and architectonical project is an opportunity to apply principles of the urban factory and the integration of cities to factories. The proposal aims to reflect one of the possibilities to combine industry 4.0, fashion, factories, and cities.
