But tearing down those dwellings to make space for the factories means the people would have move instead, so don't you end up with much of the same problem ?

I suppose it's more a matter of how the city is structured, whether there are easy transport to the city center vs easy transport to the industrial areas outside the city.
- Glawen 4y agoIn Germany you have factories in the city and that is great. Many people are living just around the factory, and they benefit from the extensive public transport network that a city provide. My example is Stuttgart, working for one of the big employer there. They have several factory, an old one in the city, and a newer one in a small town 20km away from the first factory. The old factory benefits from the S bahn and U bahn station and very few people actually needed a car. The new factory has no S bahn, no U bahn, and just one bus line connecting the old factory to the new one. A life without car there is barely possible and all employees there had a car, which then led to a parking space issue (they transformed two adjacent fields into parking).
