Latin America is experiencing fast desintegration of industrial plants and connected structures. Furthermore the metropolises in these countries are expanding rapidly, contrary to those in Europe and North America, turning the central industrial sites into vital space for urban growth. Factories built in modern architecture are not yet considered endangered and state policies regarding preservation are unclear and difficult to supervise. Extraordinary examples of 2nd generation industries can be found in the São Paulo metropolitan area, São José dos Campos and Sorocaba.

ERIH is the European Route of Industrial Heritage, a network of the most important industrial heritage sites in Europe. It is the common link between them all. From disused production plants to industrial landscape parks and inter-active technology museums. The backbone of the route consists of the so-called anchor points: the outstanding industrial monuments in the former heartlands of the Industrial Revolution, Great Britain, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany. But this is just the beginning. For ERIH intends to grow further – right to the borders of Europe.
