点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to investigate the past, present and future significance of Australian industrial landscapes. It focuses on a crucial trading zone and one of the nation's most significant industrial precincts, Port Kembla, New South Wales. Amidst growing debate over the future of port infrastructures and urban industrial land, a novel interdisciplinary, place-based approach aims to understand how industrial ports and surrounding communities endure and evolve over time. Expected outcomes include timely archiving of recent industrial, worker and migrant histories, new knowledge that will contribute to resilient industrial port regions and economies, and an evidence base for future strategic thinking around industrial port infrastructure.
