Abstract

This article examines interrelationships between industrial, urban and social change in a post‐WW2 outer Melbourne industrial district. Using a range of data and disciplinary perspectives, we identify the factors that attracted Bosch Australia and other manufacturing firms to Clayton, now a major innovation district that is home to Monash University. Mapping the development of the Bosch Clayton plant and its links with the broader development of the district, we show how the built and social fabric that evolved to support innovators provides both assets and obstacles to post‐industrial renewal.
