So, what does it look like this Post-industrial landscape?
One of the stops on the recent Bruno Taut Institute Tour of Post-industrial North America was Sydney, Nova Scotia. The other Sydney, once the centre of Canada's steel industry, then the site of the Sydney Tar Ponds, North America's most polluted post-industrial site, which was subject to a lengthy and expensive remediation and is now embracing the cruise based tourism industry.

Have just visited a historic local post-industrial landscape. The remnants of the Victorian iron ore mining and smelting industry which existed at Lal Lal between 1874 and 1884 as the Lal Lal Iron Company.
The blast furnace and Iron Mine No.3
Howdy, Stranger!
