The 480-page book focuses on the spaces of production in cities that are significant in their design and contribute to a vital urban environment. This book re-examines the modernist and contemporary factory and issues of labor in the city while provoking the future of urban manufacturing. It shows now that factories are cleaner and greener, smaller and taller, hybrid and flexible, they can be reintegrated into city life creating a new paradigm for a sustainable, mixed-use, and more self-sufficient industrial urbanism.

It is illustrated with over 400 historic and contemporary photographs, manufacturing and building process diagrams, as well as a comprehensive timeline of technology, architecture, and labor. It was designed by MGMT.design.
