NOTES

+/- 1880-1900: industrial revolution

+/- 1900-1960: A lot of factories in the western world. Ex: Philips in Eindhoven & Ford motor car in Detrout (USA)

Factories became big. A lot of houses were needed --> city grew

+/- 1960-1970: It became cheaper to move manufacturing department to Asia, where the salaries are lower.

+/- 1980: factory buildings were abandoned and had no functions anymore. A lot of unemployment.

Eindhoven: restructure, renovation, redevelop + Detroit: desolate, lot of people jobless & bankrupt

Ben je in de buurt van Eindhoven en wil je wat gaan eten met de kinderen? Ga dan naar het Ketelhuis in het creatieve Strijp-S. Vroeger was hier het bedrijventerrein van Philips, maar tegenwoordig is het een woonwijk en een plek voor culturele evenementen zoals de Dutch Designweek. Er staan nog enkele, originele fabrieksgebouwen van Philips en daar zit het Ketelhuis in.

The Philips factory changed into restaurant Ketelhuis, this is called:

1. Renovation
2. Redevelopment
3. Restructure

Why is the unemployment rate in Detroit high?

DETROIT OR EINDHOVEN?

Take a look at these pictures

In which period are these pictures made of Eindhoven & Detroit?

1. Around 1900 (industrialisation)
2. 1970 (growth of factories in Asia)
3. 2008 (recent economic crisis)
4. 2020 now

A lot of factories became useless in Eindhoven & Detroit, because companies moved their manufacturing to Asia. Do you have an idea how the space of these empty factories can have a new goal?

In which city are these pictures made, do you think?
