The cities of the American rustbelt provide a broad canvas for insurgent and guerrilla practices. Copious plots of vacant land and vacant structures of cities that have experienced substantial deindustrialization, property abandonment and population loss offer opportunities to engage with formerly productive or inhabited landscapes, even if these engagements are unsanctioned or illegal. Former industrial complexes have been a particular target of guerrilla actors, yet little is known about how sustained occupation, engagement and creative actions at postindustrial sites impact official, longer-term design practices. Exploring two sites that have long histories of transgressive activity, the Carrie Blast Furnaces in metropolitan Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Packard Automotive Factory in Detroit, Michigan, this paper examines whether unauthorized actors can be sustained agents of insurgent design that inform or break the trajectory of conventional urban development practices, which typically view vacant industrial sites as “brownfields”—to be cleared, remediated and prepared for eventual private sector development. Chronicling insurgent activities and examining their intersections with local development practices, this study considers the contributions that guerrilla actors have made in the evolving plans for these historic places and assesses the potential for broader change in planning and design practices at large-scale post-industrial sites.

锈带叛乱和文化保护：游击队的做法如何拯救了高炉和汽车厂

美国锈带的城市为叛乱和游击活动提供了广阔的画布。经历了大规模去工业化、财产遗弃和人口流失的城市的大量空地和空置结构提供了参与以前生产或有人居住的景观的机会，即使这些参与是未经批准或非法的。前工业综合体一直是游击队的特定目标，但人们对后工业场所的持续占领、参与和创造性行动如何影响官方的长期设计实践知之甚少。探索两个有着悠久海侵活动历史的地点，宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡大都会的 Carrie Blast Furnaces 和密歇根州底特律的 Packard 汽车厂，本文探讨了未经授权的行为者是否可以成为叛乱设计的持续代理人，为传统城市发展实践提供信息或打破其轨迹，传统城市发展实践通常将空置工业用地视为“棕地”——需要清理、修复并为最终的私营部门发展做好准备。本研究记录了叛乱活动并检查了它们与当地发展实践的交叉点，考虑了游击队在这些历史遗迹不断发展的计划中做出的贡献，并评估了大规模后工业遗址规划和设计实践发生更广泛变化的潜力. 他们通常将空置的工业用地视为“棕地”——需要清理、修复并为最终的私营部门发展做好准备。本研究记录了叛乱活动并检查了它们与当地发展实践的交叉点，考虑了游击队在这些历史遗迹不断发展的计划中做出的贡献，并评估了大规模后工业遗址规划和设计实践发生更广泛变化的潜力. 他们通常将空置的工业用地视为“棕地”——需要清理、修复并为最终的私营部门发展做好准备。本研究记录了叛乱活动并检查了它们与当地发展实践的交叉点，考虑了游击队在这些历史遗迹不断发展的计划中做出的贡献，并评估了大规模后工业遗址规划和设计实践发生更广泛变化的潜力.
