The city and industry have been dynamic elements that have shaped each other throughout history, to the extent that their development and transformations cannot be considered separately. Despite this interactive relationship, environmental and spatial concerns led to the isolation of industry from the city, and production activities were relocated outside cities for a significant period. Currently, the necessity of industrial production in cities has been recognized, and the transformative impact of technological advancements on production processes and organizational structures has triggered the search for the re-integration of industry into the city. This situation has led to the requirement to reconfigure the spatial relationship between the city and industry, and such a tendency points to the necessity of re-evaluating the industry phenomenon in spatial planning and design and addressing it from a different perspective. However, while economic arguments for industry and supporting policies have matured over time, spatial approaches and strategies to support production in cities are still in progress. In this context, this study addresses the issue of integrating industry into the city through a comprehensive review and spatial perspective. The study focuses on internationally produced research, projects, and practices in the context of the contemporary city-industry dynamic, aiming to explore how industry can be integrated into urban space. It explores the ways in which industry is combined with other urban functions, reveals integration typologies, and presents key design strategies in a strategic framework to ensure the integration of industry into the city.
