Zoning in on urban manufacturing: industry location and change among low-tech, high-touch industries in Melbourne, Australia

One size does not fit all: Framing smart city policy narratives within regional socio-economic contexts in Brussels and Wallonia

“…In addition to this, our findings provide insights into the smart city policy narrative developed in a post-industrial context such as the Wallonia region. Urban studies research on such contexts explains that the attention of policymakers usually revolves around a narrative of advanced, technology-driven production, giving priority to business services and tech-driven development with a key role played by Industry 4.0 agenda, including production through robotics, automation, and data analytics (Grodach & Martin, 2020;Schwab, 2016). Consistently with this research perspective, our study indicates that policymakers understand the smart city transformational process as an opportunity to develop competitive economic advantages through technological leadership.…”

Australian manufacturing industry: a 20-year scoping study on barriers, opportunities and trends for its strategic development

“…We examined the references of the remaining 84 articles to check for relevant works frequently cited but not yet added in our review. The quantitative analysis of references did not result in the inclusion of any study, and the literature portfolio used in the study comprised these 84 studies (Abbott, 2019;Athukorala et al, 2017;Baird et al, 2011;Barnes, 2017;Beaumont, 2005;Beer, 2018;Black et al, 2015;Boaden & Sims, 2000;Boer et al, 2005;Caldera et al, 2018;Cantù et al, 2015;Clibborn, 2012;Cooney;Correia et al, 2020;Craik, 2015;Cripps et al, 2009;Dargusch & Ward, 2010;Feng et al, 2008;Fraser et al, 2013;Given, 2017;Grodach & Martin, 2020;Hasan et al, 2011;Hu et al, 2019;Jackson et al, 2018;Jayaram et al, 2014;Joiner et al, 2009;Jones, 2005;Karim et al, 2008;Kiridena et al, 2009;Le & Valadkhani, 2014;Leahy et al, 2010;Lo & Power, 2010;Lobo et al, 2009Lobo et al, , 2012Lobo et al, , 2018Logue et al, 2015;Low et al, 2007;Marks, 2009;Mo, 2009;MoosaviRad et al, 2014;Nelson et al, 2007;…”

Placing production in urban cultural policy: The locational patterns of cultural industries and related manufacturing

“…Sub-regions were defined using the ABS's Statistical Area 4 (SA4), the standard geographic unit for labour market analysis (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2016b). We used location quotients to measure sub-industry concentration, comparing the ratio of employment in the sub-region to that of the nation (Grodach & Martin, 2020b). This part of the analysis demonstrates how centralizing tendencies vary across different industry subsets.…”

“…Consequently, we created a composite group of four-digit level ANZSIC codes, with characteristics outlined in a small but growing literature on cultural manufacturing (Appendix A). Specifically, we looked for "production-related actors" (Leslie & Rantisi, 2017) that combine practical and cultural sensibilities (Grodach et al, 2017) in "low-technology," "laborintensive" processes (Grodach & Martin, 2020b;Hansen & Winther, 2015). Using these criteria, we reviewed the ABS's (Trewin & Pink, 2006) description of business activities for all manufacturing codes and other miscellaneous production activity (e.g., 9352 Photographic Film Processing), delineating those directly involved in the supply chains for material and immaterial cultural products.…”
