Since the Industrial Revolution, cities and industry have grown
together; towns and metropolitan regions have evolved around
factories and expanding industries. New Industrial Urbanism
explores the evolving and future relationships between cities and
places of production, focusing on the spatial implications and
physical design of integrating contemporary manufacturing into the
city. The book examines recent developments that have led to
dramatic shifts in the manufacturing sector - from large-scale mass
production methods to small-scale distributed systems; from
polluting and consumptive production methods to a cleaner and more
sustainable process; from broad demand for unskilled labor to a
growing need for a more educated and specialized workforce - to
show how cities see new investment and increased employment
opportunities. Looking ahead to the quest to make cities more
competitive and resilient, New Industrial Urbanism provides lessons
from cases around the world and suggests adopting New Industrial
Urbanism as an action framework that reconnects what has been
separated: people, places, and production. Moving the conversation
beyond the reflexively-negative characterizations of industry, more
than two centuries after the start of the Industrial Revolution,
this book calls to re-consider the ways in which industry creates
places, sustains jobs, and supports environmental sustainability in
our cities. This book is available as Open Acess through
