Synopsis

Why Industry Moved South: Postwar plant-location decisions and the rise of southern manufacturing

A clear, grounded look at how and why manufacturing expansion flowed into the Southern states after World War II. The book analyzes real plant-location choices to explain regional growth and business strategy in the postwar era.

Readers will get a practical view of the factors that shape where a plant is built, from markets and labor to materials and transportation. It combines first-hand data from company executives with case studies to show how decisions are made in the real world. This edition highlights the policymaker and business perspectives that drive regional development.

  • How firms weigh markets, labor supply, raw materials, and transport when choosing a site
  • What the postwar South offered as advantages for new plants
  • How communities and state agencies can support site selection with useful information
  • Insights from 88 detailed plant-location cases across 13 southern states

Ideal for readers of economic history, regional development, and practical site-selection strategy who want a concrete, case-based view of postwar industrial growth.
