Industrial Location is a comprehensive introduction to the many facets of industrial geography. From providing an historical overview of the economic, social and political forces that have shaped contemporary patterns of industrial location, the authors discuss historical developments, examine the changing nature of industrial production and systems, and explain the demographic changes industrialization produces. Industrial location can be placed in the context of fixed investment. It is important to the investing organisation because it is fixed in place - the right choices have to be made to produce profit. It is important to non-investors because it becomes a feature of the local economic landscape and directly affects the surrounding population and environment. Location is vital to the efficiency and profitability of industrial activity; and Industrial Location is an invaluable introduction to this broad and complex geographical subject.
Industry Reviews
"Written by recognized authorities, this important new textbook presents a stimulating overview of the complex forces responsible for industrial location. While students of geography, business, and planning will benefit from this meticulous account, it deserves a wider audience. Business leaders or their advisers, and policy makers are also strongly recommended to read this book."-Anthony de Souza, National Geographic Society, Washington, DC
