The Present: Theory and Practice of Post-industrial Landscapes

Industrialisation dominated the world for a long time and led to significant economic development. In recent decades, however, it has lost momentum due to deindustrialisation, which has led to a significant change in the economic and social structure of geographical areas. The post-industrialisation period is characterised by a shift from manufacturing to service and information-oriented industries. Post-industrialisation has led to profound changes in cities, reshaping their economic foundations, urban landscapes and social structures. While it brings challenges such as income inequality and displacement, it also offers opportunities for innovation, sustainable development and economic diversification.
