Creative brownfields e rigenerazione artistica e culturale a Lipsia: un passato reinterpretato?”

Creative brownfields and an artistic and cultural past in Leipzig reinterpreted? This paper deals with the topic of culture- and art-led regeneration of the industrial peripheries of Leipzig, on the basis of the experiences of two of its former factories: Baumwollspinnerei and Westwerk. With reference to the case studies, the work aims to outline some reflections and evaluations concerning the opportunities offered by and the critical issues arising from these attempts to reinterpret the urban industrial heritage.
