How did Detroit Become the Motor City? | Industrial Geography | Crash Course Geography #48

An important quick mention about supply chain affecting just in time production: the original model in Japan included evaluating the supply chains for parts sensitive to interruptions, and strategically stocking them to prevent a single point of failure. The American model overall has generally neglected or poorly assessed which parts to stock in strategic reserves, though

There's a lot of overlap here with my profession, industrial engineering, but since I apply those skills on a company-level scope, I never really considered the macro effects of this type of logistics planning! There should be a bigger focus on that angle in engineering education.

Ah, the beginning of the modern dilemmas

since globalization caused by free trade and better infrastructure has reduced the cost of distance, then transportation costs and decisions are more based on trade laws and infrastructure quality, rather than the geographic space and item being moved. is there a way do visualize this, like a map that scales distances by the time or cost to transport goods? this part really interested me because in Indonesia, it is cheaper to have goods imported all the way from Europe than to send them across neighboring islands

Reading Harvey in a 3rd year university class and those 30 seconds taught me more than the 3 hour lecture

"Detroit" (my Michigan ears perk up)

Very helpful 🙂👍

Mostly because Henry Ford was working in Dearborn when he started building cars. Henry Ford made Detroit the Motor City.

As someone from the D, thank u for educating us! ✌🏻

Horrifying, and most people aren't even at the stage of realisation when it comes to car addiction.

Amazing videos bro I watch ur videos all the time

Love it! Thank you so much

Would be more interested in "how did Detroit (and Baltimore) become the hollowed-out shell of a thriving metropolis that they've become"-Video

Weird to see an old map of copenhagen floating behind David Harvey :D

Thanks for the section information...

Thank you~🙂 감사합니다~

Thank you!

For a second there I read that title as "How did Detroit become human" lol.

I wondered if Detroit would have still became the Motor City had Industrialization started 200 years earlier

Thank you
