walker, "geography of production" (2000)

(14) including everything manufacture-like not classified as such, estimates are 40-50% of total labour force

(119) skyscrapers as 20th century's 'dark satanic mills'

(119) workplace integration presents various advantages, but doesn't mean you need River Rouge -- 'importance of factory as a business strategy' diminishing..

(120) "no single best solution" [the problem, here, is that this becomes just a nice way of saying you have nothing to say]

(123) industrial location is not about pre-given costs, but about creating systems of innovation, etc.

(126) technological development has its own logic, dependent on the industry/sector (i.e., mechanization in agriculture is different from mechanization in healthcare)
