Derelict Mills within Bradford
The urban analysis started with Kevin Lynch methodology as our tool to identify the isolation area within Bradford. The main focus of this diagram is to show the isolation area that increasing moving outwards away from the City Centre. However, this scheme does not work with the mills, even the mills are located near the city centre, the city treats all the mills as an isolated building that don’t have any relation with the urban fabric.
