Week 8 Prompt
Industrialization, Deindustrialization, and Postindustrial Cities
We will cover the Economic Geography chapter for two weeks. You should read most
,
or all of
the chapter (ch. 9) this week. Next week, the prompt will address
the environmental aspects of
economic geography.
As manufacturing (
secondary industry
) moves out of the United States and other developed
countries and into other less developed or developing countries, lots of interesting
transformations occur in the citi
es and regions that gain or lose the jobs and infrastructure that
go along with manufacturing.
Your
task
is to choose one location that has changed drastically
because of the loss
or
gain of manufacturing and share two resources with the class th
at
either (1) show what manufacturing looks like in that location or (2) show how the city or
region has changed due to the gain or loss of manufacturing. The resources can be videos,
articles, pictures, etc., but they must be something you can embed or pr
ovide a link to, so
that your classmates can also check out the resources. Active links are highly preferred
.
Some examples of locations you might choose are: Detroit, Pittsburgh, El Paso/Juarez, any
country with an
export processing zone (EPZ)
or any coun
try with lawful or unlawful child labor
in manufacturing (the list is long). If you want to be more creative, ask yourself where a random
product is manufactured, and see if you can find specific locations (cities or factories) through
internet research. Y
ou may be able to use some of the resources you found for assignment
four, if they overlap with the requirements of this prompt.
Your post is only required to be
200
words long, but you must: (1) include links to your two
resources (2) summarize the resour
ces you found and (3) explain how the city/country you
have chosen has transformed over time and give at least a rough idea of when the
transformation occurred or started (for example, "the 1990s" or "after World War II" or
"after three major auto companie
s opened plants there in 2002
-‐
2004").
There are interesting stories to be found due to
the extreme changes the gain or loss of economic
activity can bring to a place. For example, if you
watched Black Gold, you know that Africa's share
of world trade is ab
out 1%, and that if it
increased to just 2%
-‐
for that huge area (over 50
countries) and population
-‐
it would lead to vast
improvements in some areas. Many sub
-‐
Saharan
African countries went through significant
economic change in the 1990s and later as
ch
anges to world trade restructured some of
their manufacturing out of existence. Also, if you
have heard about changes in Detroit but haven't
learned much about it yet, this article on
Buzzfeed is a fun place to start:

House in Detroit for $500
