RE: Houses for factory workers [ENG-PT/BR]
These industrial places tend to be the ones with the most preservation in this rampant age of mass development. Unfortunately due to that development they're also the first target for demolition to make up new space because nobody really considers industrial zones as anything of historical importance.
Right near me there are 1940s, very early 1950s Soviet factories that are overgrown and with everything still remaining within. Already much of that area has been developed. But a few remain, living on borrowed time. I often think of what will happen to the little items inside; probably just destroyed.

I agree with your opinion. The desire for unbridled profit makes these sites full of memories be erased.
There is an interesting case of how development and repurposing space can be done well. There's a university in Luxembourg which is built in and around a former steelworks, so the blast furnaces and industrial history remains. The history is still there, albeit repurposed, but that's better than totally destroying the past entirely.
