This book includes studies on regions, industries and tendencies of
industrial change and spatial concentration of competences and
industrial potentials. The chapters in this volume provide for
discussions concerning a wider understanding of situations related
to Industry 4.0 and digitization. It also reaches out further than
towards technology and economy because it includes regional and
metropolitan societies, workforces and the divergencies of effects
and opportunities. Industry 4.0 and digitization are new
transformations for regions and metropolises where technologies are
applied but regionally can appear as a continuation of innovative
processes where it is developed. The divergent presence of
competences creates a selectivity process among regions. There are
individual industry-location-nexuses formed out of competences of
industries, labour force and research which are complemented by
public policies providing support towards such adaptation of
innovation and change. Regional societies formed from skilled and
educated labour become an important basis for participation in
innovation and supply chains. Since smart factories widely can be
managed remotely, this also shows a concentration of decision
making. Simultaneously, it forms a polycentric de-concentration,
indicating some more important locations as central within the
networks. These systematic changes continue to deepen over time.
While public policies may match innovative opportunities at the
appropriate moment, they also contribute to a continuation of
uneven development and divergent societal tendencies. Industry 4.0
and digitization indicate a wide and selective change of
organization associated with new technologies and innovation. While
some regions and metropolises can continue to build both innovative
competences and innovative societies based on innovative labour
force, others will participate because of their position in supply
chains. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of the journal, European Planning Studies.
