Historic industrial sites and their territories present the integral part of urban environment. Depressive industrial territories in cities need reorganization and transformation, since they do not correspond to the modern requirements for the development of territory and destroy the image of cities. The paper studies the prerequisites and problems of the reorganization of industrial territories, as well as the examples of successful reorganization of industrial facilities depending on their location in urban structure: in the historical center of the city, in industrial zones in city outskirts, reorganization of quarries and dumps distantly located from city structures. Three types of reorganization of depressed industrial territories were identified, depending on the degree of preservation of industrial functions: reorganization with preservation of industrial functions, partial re-functionalization and complete re-functionalization. The applicability of the ways to reorganize various industrial sites against the identified types of depressed industrial areas is evaluated.
