Manufacturing Suburbs, then, is a timely and welcome addition to the literature on North American urban devel- opment. According to editor Robert Lewis, this volume has three aims: (1) to assemble in one collection, for the first time, a selection of recent research on industrial suburbanization and indus- trial suburbs, (2) to help refocus research on the suburbs, and (3) to show the significance of the dispersion of factories to the urban fringe for the making of metropolitan districts before the post– World War II bout of suburbanization (p. vii). Fur- thermore, in his opening essay, Lewis suggests six themes that can be associated with the assembled papers: (1) the relationship between the build- ing of the suburb and urban building rhythms, (2) the sorting of the metropolitan area’s social geography, (3) the importance of the organiza- tion of production for the development of the in- dustrial suburb, (4) the impact on factory district formation and suburban development of events and processes occurring at various spatial scales, (5) the relevance of the boundaries separating city The Canadian Geographer / Le G´eographe canadien 50, no 3 (2006) 408–416 C  / Canadian Association of Geographers / L’Association canadienne des g´eographes
