Description
Webber tackles a fundamental topic, the strategy and pattern behind the location of industrial production. He uses examples from the aircraft parts industry, the industrial decline in the UK, and the location pattern of manufacturing within cities. They suggest that as transport costs have fallen, the main location factors have become labour and agglomeration, themselves dependent upon general economic, political, and social systems.
