KI #1 Where is Industry Distributed?
• Origin of industry– Industrial Revolution – innovative
engineers and mechanics, invention of hundreds of mechanical devices, expansion in productivity which resulted in higher standards of living
• Started in UK late 18th century (late 1700’s) and diffused from there
• Impact of the Industrial Revolution especially great on iron, coal, transportation, textiles, chemicals, and food processing

• Industry much more clustered in space than agriculture.
• Important factorsoWhat are the characteristics of the land, labor,
and capitalo Location - Where are markets located and
where are resources located• Industry starting to shift from MDC’s to LDC’s –
Global markets

• Less than 1 percent of Earth’s land is devoted to industry
• Approximately ¾ of world’s industrial production is concentrated in 4 regions.– Europe
• Northwestern Europe and Eastern Europe• Emerged in late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries
– North America• Industry arrived later but spread faster than in
Europe• Northeast U.S. and Southeast Canada
– East Asia• China and Japan

Industry in Europe
• The UK lost its international industrial leadership in the 20th century.
• The Industrial Revolution diffused to Europe and North America in the 19th century, then the rest of the world in the 20th century.
• Political instability delayed the diffusion in Europe.
• Europe’s political problems delayed the development of modern transportation systems.

France & Germany (Rhine)
• Iron and steel manufacturing has concentrated in the Rhine-Ruhr Valley.
• The mid-Rhine region became a major industrial center when Germany was split into 2 countries.
• The French portion of the Mid-Rhine region contains Europe’s largest iron-ore field and is the production center for 2/3 of France’s steel.

• Southern and Eastern Europe countries joined the Industrial Revolution during the 20th century.
• The Po Basin has attracted textiles and other industries because of workers willing to accept low wages and inexpensive hydroelectricity.

• St. Petersburg was one of Russia’s early nodes of industrial innovation.

Industry in North America
• Industry arrived but it grew much faster.
• At the time of independence in 1776, the United States was a predominately agricultural society, dependent on the import of manufactured goods from Britain.

Industry in North America
• Manufacturing was more expensive than in Britain because labor and capital were scarce, and shipping to European markets was expensive.
• By 1860, the United States had become a major industrial nation, second only to the United Kingdom.

Industry in North America
• 1. Textiles (1st industrial revolution)• 2. Food and lumber (mid-1800s)• 3. Iron and steel (late 1800s)

Where?
• traditionally concentrated in the northeastern quadrant of the US & in southeastern Canada. – only 5 percent of the land area of these
countries – contains one-third of the population – two-thirds of the manufacturing output.

• China, Japan, South Korea have been becoming industrial leaders since WWII
• Most abundant resource = large populations = large labor force
