I'm going round in circles with this one, so hopefully someone can help:
"Digui adéu a les naus i polígons antics.
Arriba la nova generació de parcs industrials.
En el millor emplaçament possible. Amb una cuidada arquitectura i un disseny homogeni. Amb tots els serveis que les empreses necessiten: Hotels, oficines, restaurants, gimnasos, seguretat, amples zones verdes ..."
Many thanks

well thought-out architecture
"cuidada" is a tricky one: "carefully-designed" or similar is perhaps the best literal translation, although another possibility that captures the essence of the idea is: "well thought-out architecture".

In a city with such a rich architectural heritage ...
I am not sure how to end that with the "disseny homogeni". Maybe consistant design, or a distinct style. It definitely needs to be butchered, I think.
Or maybe -
In a city with such a rich and distinctive architectural style.
