At the crossroads of post-war economic transformation, Manufacturing in Melbourne presents a rigorous academic examination of one of Australia's most industrially significant cities, charting the geographic and economic forces that shaped Melbourne's manufacturing landscape in the mid-twentieth century. P. J. Rimmer maps the spatial distribution of industry across the metropolitan area, analysing the patterns of industrial location, labour supply, and urban expansion that defined Melbourne's emergence as a powerhouse of Australian production. Published under the Research School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University, this work sits firmly within the tradition of human geography scholarship, bringing quantitative rigour and analytical precision to questions of urban-industrial development. Rimmer's meticulous methodology — drawing on detailed survey data and locational analysis — set a benchmark for regional economic geography in Australia, making this volume an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand the forces that continue to shape Australian cities today.
