Urban Future’s Karl Dickinson is in conversation with Adrian Hill, a social designer and lead researcher for the Cities of Making project, talking about the nature of production in the post-industrial city. They discuss why manufacturing still has a – maybe surprising – place in urban centres, what it really takes to kick off a circular economy, and how shrinking cities that transfer their manufacturing skills base into new productive industries just may get the social and economic boost they need.
