This book focuses on the relationship between the auto industry and
the built environment at multiple scales, a topic of particular
interest now as the industry is going through a period of major
transformation. Drawing from multiple perspectives, including
architecture, urban design and urban planning, the authors examine
the changing form of the auto factory itself, the changing
geography of auto production, and the challenges faced by
communities as the auto plants that once brought them prosperity,
and often a sense of identity, leave town. They examine four places
that are dealing in different ways, and with varying success, with
the aftermath of a decommissioned auto plant in their midst. These
are Janesville, Wisconsin, and Willow Run, Michigan, in the U.S.,
and Bochum, Germany, and Genk, Belgium, in Europe. Together these
four cases provide some clues about what the future might look like
for places that were once intimately connected with the manufacture
of cars.
