Rail connections to industrial parks must be preserved and further developed
Modern industrial and logistics parks should not be created as a mere collection of standardized buildings constructed speculatively for immediate lease. A high-quality industrial park must be designed from the outset as an integrated and long-term functional whole, reflecting the specific future operations as well as the broader context of the given location, including its connection to rail infrastructure.
This is especially true for strategic areas and brownfield sites within urban environments, where it is necessary to consider not only the parameters of individual buildings, but also their links to local and regional transport and energy infrastructure. In such locations, rail connections should not be seen as obsolete or redundant remnants of the past, but as a fully-fledged component of industrial park infrastructure—one that should be preserved and, where possible, further developed. This is precisely the approach Demaco takes in the development of its industrial parks.
