Is Canada de-industrializing? : the industrial restructuring of the manufacturing sector, 1961-1995Del Balso, Michael. January 1997 (has links)
This study assesses critically the conceptualisation and operationalisation of variants of the de-industrialization thesis that have been proposed in Canada, the United States, and United Kingdom. A series of operational measures are identified and then applied to the case of Canada to determine if it has been losing its manufacturing base. Long term data on employment, output, investment, and trade are examined for the manufacturing sector as a whole. Certain general trends are also contrasted with those of other G-7 countries. Further, the study considers trends in the major manufacturing industries (two digit SIC) and in the sub-industry groups: automotive, steel, and pulp and paper. The data are mainly from Statistics Canada publications and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The evidence runs counter to the expectations of the de-industrialization thesis. Canada's manufacturing base has generally grown.

Visions of False Creek: urban development and industrial decline in Vancouver, 1960-1980.Miro, Jacopo 29 August 2011 (has links)
False Creek has been both the poster child and the ground zero of Vancouver’s acclaimed ‘urban renaissance’ – the transformation of the city from resource town to world-class metropolis. This study explores the interplay between urban redevelopment and the loss of industrial land and blue-collar work in False Creek in the 1970s. I investigate how city officials, urban experts, local workers and business owners viewed and made sense of the transformation of False Creek from an industrial site to a commercial, recreational and residential district. An examination of the testimony of local workers and businessmen as well as of the visions of municipal authorities is necessary to demystify the loss of inner-city industrial land as a natural and inevitable process. I demonstrate how the demise of the industrial sector in False Creek resulted in part from state policy, and from changing understandings about the place of industry in the socio-economic life of the city. Finally, I make the case that while the redevelopment project incorporated innovative planning practices, and brought countless benefits to many Vancouverites, the transformation of the area is inextricably linked to a story of displacement. / Graduate

Desindustrialização no Brasil Sintomas e causas / Desindustrializarion in Brazil: symptoms and causesAna Carolina Sartori Natal 25 September 2012 (has links)
Este trabalho pretende contribuir para o entendimento sobre a desindustrialização brasileira, bem como propor uma reflexão sobre o futuro das políticas de governo atualmente vigentes. Para isso, procurou-se inicialmente avaliar a literatura nacional e estrangeira sobre o tema da desindustrialização. O objetivo é, portanto, observar através dos dados e indicadores mais recomendados pela literatura existente, se o Brasil apresenta, realmente, sinais de que está passando por um processo de desindustrialização. Os agregados econômicos analisados foram: emprego, produto e o setor externo. As respectivas séries revelaram, em seu conjunto, que o Brasil está enfrentando, desde meados dos anos 1980, o fenômeno da desindustrialização. As principais causas que contribuem para explicar o porquê desse processo são: o avanço das commodities na pauta exportadora brasileira, a recente valorização da moeda nacional, a baixa densidade tecnológica dos produtos industriais brasileiros, as mudanças de políticas econômicas dos anos 1980 e 1990 e, finalmente, o processo geral recente do capitalismo, no contexto de um mundo globalizado. / This work aims to contribute for the understanding of the Brazilian deindustrialization and to do an assessment on the future of government policies currently in force. For this purpose, we sought to evaluate the domestic and international literature on deindustrialization. The goal is to observe through the data and indicators most recommended by leading authors, if Brazil has indeed signs that is undergoing a process of deindustrialization. The economic aggregates that are analyzed, including the following variables: employment, output and the external sector. The respective series show, on the whole, that Brazil is indeed experiencing, since the mid 1980s, the phenomenon of deindustrialization. The main causes contributing to explain why this process is in process: the advancement of "commodities" in Brazilian exports, the recent appreciation of the domestic currency, the low technological density of Brazilian industrial products, changes in economic policies of the 1980s and 1990s, and finally the general and recent evolution of capitalism.

O processo de desindustrialização no Ipiranga e suas consequências sócio-espaciais / The process of de-industrialization on Ipiranga and its socio-spatial consequencesAndré Borsa José 18 March 2011 (has links)
A nossa pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o processo de desindustrialização e suas conseqüências sócio-espaciais. O Ipiranga, área localizada na zona sul de São Paulo foi um antigo bairro operário e industrial, formado pelo processo de industrialização. Atualmente, as indústrias, em sua maior parte, deixaram o Ipiranga, provocando grandes mudanças na sua formação sócio-espacial. Com o processo de desindustrialização, observamos antigos galpões industriais fechados, terrenos com prédios industriais em ruína com mato crescendo. Esta paisagem caracteriza, sobretudo, as áreas de várzea do Ipiranga, devido à maior desvalorização dos terrenos localizados nestes locais. No Alto do Ipiranga, temos uma maior ocupação destas áreas. Observamos, neste setor do antigo bairro operário e industrial, uma verticalização do seu espaço. Lançamentos imobiliários se instalaram, nessa área, e valorizaram muito o preço da terra urbana no Alto do Ipiranga. Mais recentemente, esse processo de verticalização também vai chegando às áreas de várzea do Ipiranga. Com isso, a tendência é o aumento do valor do solo urbano em nossa área de estudo como um todo. Desta forma, o Ipiranga vai se transformando num lugar de moradia das classes média e alta da sociedade paulistana. / Our research aimed to analyse the process of de-industrialization and its sociospatial consequences. Ipiranga district, area located in the south region of São Paulo, was an old working class and industrial district, formed by the process of industrialilization. Nowadays, most part of those industries left Ipiranga, causing important changes in its socio-spatial formation. With the process of deindustrialization we can see old factory buildings closed, urban lots with industrial buildings in ruins with growing grass. This landscape features, especiallly, the lowland areas of Ipiranga, due to a higher depreciation of land locates at these sites. In Alto do Ipiranga, we have a major occupation of these areas. We observed in this sector an old working class and industrial district the verticalization of its space. Releases estates settled in this area, and caused a high valorization of urban land in Alto do Ipiranga. More recently, this process of verticalization also reaches lowlandas of Ipiranga. Thus, the trend is an increasing value of urban land in our study area as a whole. This way, Ipiranga is being transformed into a housing place formiddle and upper class of São Paulo\'s society.

Previous issue date: 2015 / Resumo: Este trabalho avalia que existe uma controvérsia sobre a desindustrialização no Brasil a partir de várias perspectivas teóricas. Dentre elas foram avaliados autores que discordam desta qualificação e autores que concordam. Dos que concordam são avaliadas as perspectivas ortodoxas, da doença holandesa e demais abordagens heterodoxas, dentre elas a estruturalista. Analisa os impactos do processo de desindustrialização no Brasil a partir de uma perspectiva estruturalista. Entende que a desindustrialização que ocorre no Brasil é um processo relativo explicado pelo aumento do gap tecnológico, pela quebra de elos em cadeias produtivas e pala substituição do produto final nacional pelo importado. Avalia que o processo de desindustrialização em marcha apresenta efeitos distintos do ponto de vista regional e setorial. A partir de uma abordagem regionalizada, analisa que ocorre um duplo efeito sobre a economia paulista: i) por ter o parque produtivo mais diversificado e com setores modernos, ii) pela rearticulação do sistema produtivo nacional que tinha em São Paulo seu centro mais dinâmico. Conclui que a indústria brasileira sofre com problemas de competitividade industrial, principalmente em setores de maior intensidade tecnológica, o que aumenta as dificuldades de promover um crescimento de longo prazo, portanto de sua trajetória de desenvolvimento / Abstract: This study evaluates that there is a controversy about the existence of de-industrialization in Brazil from various theoretical perspectives. Also, evaluates authors who disagree with this qualification and authors who agree. Of those who agree are evaluated the Orthodox perspective, the Dutch Disease and other heterodox approaches, among the structuralist. Also, analyzes the impacts of de-industrialization in Brazil from a structuralist perspective. Argues that de-industrialization in Brazil is a relative process explained by the increase of technological gap, by breaking links in supply chains and the replacement of the final national product by imported one. Analyzes that the de-industrialization in process has different impacts of regional e sectorial point of view, with a dual effect on São Paulo economy: i) to have the most diversified industrial park and modern sectors, ii) the re-articulation of the national productivity system that had in São Paulo your dynamic center. Concludes that Brazilian manufacturing suffers from competitiveness problem, especially in sectors of high technology, which amplifies the difficulties of promoting long-term growth, so it¿s development trajectory / Doutorado / Desenvolvimento Economico, Espaço e Meio Ambiente / Doutor em Desenvolvimento Economico

The Role of Educational Attainment in Migration Probability and Destination Selection for the Metropolitan Rust Belt, 1980-2000Jacobs, Paul D. 01 August 2012 (has links)
The U.S. has undergone macroeconomic changes over the latter course of the twentieth century. As a result, migration patterns have shifted toward the fast-growing southern and western portions of the nation. My research measures the impact of deindustrialization and educational selection on out-migration from the metropolitan Rust Belt for 1980, 1990, and 2000. Analysis on destination selection using multinomial regression analysis is then conducted to determine whether education trumps social capital for long-distance migration. Findings indicate that more severely deindustrializing metropolitan areas have greater out-migration in 1980 and 1990 but less so for 2000, with positive educational selection for each year. Multinomial results indicate that education does not attenuate social capital for interregional migration destination. The rise of the service economy may indicate the increasing importance of social capital for individuals leaving the Rust Belt for other regions.
