A modern city is multifaceted. The city creates pressure on the environment and is a showcase of social conflicts but, namely, the city with its high density of life ensures the efficient use of resources and creates conditions for improving the quality of life of population. In modern conditions of technological development and with a view of greening the urban environment, city administrations are increasingly taking to the reorganization of production functions of the city. As a result, industrial enterprises are either transferred to the suburbs and industrially underdeveloped agglomeration regions or undergo reorganization of industrial territories. In this respect, the question of identifying possible development paths for liberated urban areas is arising.The aim of the article is to analyze current state of industrial territories in order to determine the ways of their further development.The article examines in detail the role of industrial districts and industrial enterprises in the structure of the city, analyzes the relationship of industrial territories with urban structure, reveals new approaches to sanitary protection zones, considers the urban-ecological aspect and its impact on the organization of industrial enterprises. The article also argues in favor of strategic planning as a necessary element for creating an attractive investment image, outlines ways to reconstruct industrial territories and examines foreign and domestic practice regarding their reorganization.It has been found out that the modern industrial district does not have a definite established structure: its structure, size, transport, sanitary protection zones of enterprises are changing by means of technology. This means that the relationship of an industrial district with other urban areas also changes. The industrial district turns into an industrial center, an industrial park into a cluster or becomes a “stim-dross" territory, which in its turn requires new methodological approaches to the design of industrial areas.
