ABSTRACT
Chapter 10 describes how the archetype described in Chapter 9 might be realized in the physical city. This is not a utopia, but an open urban system, differing from place to place, supporting a wide variety of industrial forms in and among other functions, and providing for flexibility and resilience over time.
The chapter is organized into 12 principles, or patterns, each of which deals with a specific aspect of infrastructure, land use, or industrial buildings. They are based on historic or contemporary precedents and observations of actual innovative situations. Many of them have been mentioned in the first nine chapters. They are:
LAND, STREETS, AND URBAN FORM
Preservation, availability, and access to industrial land
Innovation districts
Industrial ribbon, industrial streets, and productive sidewalks
Public transportation and bicycle routes serve industrial zones
THE WEAVE OF INDUSTRIAL AND NON-INDUSTRIAL USESVisible industry

Everyday services in industrial areas
HUMANE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGSShared facilities for start-ups and small manufacturing operations
Permanence, flexibility, and adaptability
