[divider] The idea of re-distributed remanufacturing has become increasingly popular, yet there is no real understanding of size and shape of it within different city regions, the infrastructure that is necessary to support and nurture it, and new value streams it creates. This workshop aims to develop an understanding of community-based / re-distributed manufacturing, how it can enhance resilience within a city region, and the e-infrastructure required to support it.
