A New Industrial Future? examines whether a further industrial
revolution is taking place around the world. In this compelling
book Birtchnell and Urry examine such a new possible future
involving the mass adoption of 3D printing. The locating of 3D
printers in homes, offices, stores and workshops would disrupt
existing systems and pose novel challenges for incumbents. The book
drawing upon expert interviews, scenario workshops and various case
studies assesses the potential future of global manufacturing,
freight transport, world trade and land use. It offers the first
book-length social scientific analysis of the character and impacts
of a new system of manufacturing that is in formation. The book
will be of interest to urban planners, policy makers, social
scientists, futurologists, economists, as well as general readers
by offering inquiry on this future upheaval in the means of
production.
