再分布制造（RDM），广义上被描述为在小规模和本地进行的制造，可以通过创造就业机会，减少生产对环境的影响，提高对未来干扰的适应能力，对企业和城市社会有益。在城市区域内考虑RDM需要考虑广泛的问题-社会，技术，经济和环境。本文介绍了一项研究的结果，在面对一系列预期的未来干扰的城市和制造业的RDM的潜力，以促进一个可持续的，有弹性的城市。该研究采取了一种综合评估方法，其中包括一个概念框架的发展;一个“稻草人”的因果循环图，这是由与会者在一个研讨会上审查;和一个股票和流量系统动力学模型，代表我们的理解的结构和行为的城市制造业。出现了几个关键主题：RDM和传统制造业之间的相似性，RDM的物理空间可用性，通过RDM实现城市弹性，通过对干扰的响应能力，生产对环境影响的变化，工作岗位的增加或损失，当地制造业的竞争力，以及RDM技术的技能和创新。建议开展进一步工作。
Re-distributed manufacturing (RDM), broadly described as manufacturing done at a smaller-scale and locally, could be beneficial to business and urban society through creating jobs, reducing the environmental impacts of production, and improving resilience to future disturbances. Consideration of RDM within a city-region requires the consideration of a wide range of issues - societal, technical, economic and environmental. This paper presents the results of a study into the potential for RDM to contribute to a sustainable, resilient city in the face of a range of expected future disturbances on the city and on manufacturing sectors. The study took an integrated assessment approach which incorporated the development of a conceptual framework; a 'strawman' causal loop diagram which was reviewed by participants in a workshop; and a stock and flow system dynamics model that represents our understanding about the structure and behaviour of urban manufacturing. Several key themes emerged: similarities between RDM and traditional manufacturing, availability of physical space for RDM to be done, achieving urban resilience through RDM by enabling responsiveness to disturbances, changes in environmental impacts from production, additions or losses in jobs, the competitiveness of local manufacturing, and skills and innovation for RDM technologies. Further work is recommended.
