While many cities have sought to repurpose their old industrial zones into hip condos, restaurants or commercial lofts for tech companies—or simply knock them down—Milwaukee has invested in resurrecting its own, with intense planning, new infrastructure and exacting design standards.

Milwaukee is at work applying the lessons learned in the Menomonee Valley to the nearby port district and in the 30th Street industrial corridor several miles to the north.
