The world's manufacturing economy has been transformed by the phenomenon of globalisation, with benefits for economies of scale, operational flexibility, risk sharing and access to new markets. It has been at the cost of a loss of manufacturing and other jobs in western economies, loss of core capabilities and increased risks of disruption in the highly interconnected and interdependent global systems. The resource demands and environmental impacts of globalisation have also led to a loss of sustainability. New highly adaptable manufacturing processes and techniques capable of operating at small scales may allow a rebalancing of the manufacturing economy. They offer the possibility of a new understanding of where and how design, manufacture and services should be carried out to achieve the most appropriate mix of capability and employment possibilities in our economies but also to minimise environmental costs, to improve product specialisation to markets and to ensure resilience of provision under natural and socio-political disruption. This proposal brings together an interdisciplinary academic team to work with industry and local communities to explore the impact of this re-distribution of manufacturing (RDM) at the scale of the city and its hinterland, using Bristol as an example in its European Green Capital year, and concentrating on the issues of resilience and sustainability. The aim of this exploration will be to develop a vision, roadmap and research agenda for the implications of RDM for the city, and at the same time develop a methodology for networked collaboration between the many stakeholders that will allow deep understanding of the issues to be achieved and new approaches to their resolution explored.The network will study the issues from a number of disciplinary perspectives, bringing together experts in manufacturing, design, logistics, operations management, infrastructure, resilience, sustainability, engineering systems, geographical sciences, mathematical modelling and beyond. They will consider how RDM may contribute to the resilience and sustainability of a city in a number of ways: firstly, how can we characterise the economic, social and environmental challenges that we face in the city for which RDM may contribute to a solution? Secondly, what are the technical developments, for example in manufacturing equipment and digital technologies, that are enablers for RDM, and what are their implications for a range of manufacturing applications and for the design of products and systems? Thirdly, what are the social and political developments, for example in public policy, in regulation, in the rise of social enterprise or environmentalism that impact on RDM and what are their implications? Fourthly, what are the business implications, on supply networks and logistics arrangements, of the re-distribution? Finally, what are the implications for the physical and digital infrastructure of the city?In addition, the network will, through the way in which it carries out embedded focused studies, explore mechanisms by which interdisciplinary teams may come together to address societal grand challenges and develop research agendas for their solution. These will be based on working together using a combination of a Collaboratory - a centre without walls - and a Living Lab - a gathering of public-private partnerships in which businesses, researchers, authorities, and citizens work together for the creation of new services, business ideas, markets, and technologies.

全球化现象改变了世界制造业经济，带来了规模经济、运营灵活性、风险分担和进入新市场的好处。其代价是西方经济体失去了制造业和其他工作岗位，失去了核心能力，并增加了高度相互关联和相互依存的全球体系受到破坏的风险。全球化的资源需求和环境影响也导致了可持续性的丧失。新的适应性强的制造工艺和技术能够在小规模下运作，可能会使制造业经济重新平衡。它们提供了一种新的理解的可能性，即设计、制造和服务应该在哪里以及如何进行，以实现我们经济体中最适当的能力和就业可能性组合，同时还可以最大限度地减少环境成本，提高产品针对市场的专业化程度，并确保在自然和社会政治干扰下的供应弹性。该提案汇集了一个跨学科的学术团队，与工业和当地社区合作，以布里斯托为例，在其欧洲绿色首都年，并集中在弹性和可持续性问题上，探索这种制造业再分布（RDM）在城市及其腹地规模的影响。本次探索的目的是为RDM对城市的影响制定一个愿景、路线图和研究议程，同时为众多利益相关者之间的网络合作制定一种方法，以深入理解要实现的问题，并探索解决这些问题的新方法。该网络将从多个学科角度研究这些问题，汇集了制造、设计、物流、运营管理、基础设施、复原力、可持续性、工程系统、地理科学、数学建模等领域的专家。他们将考虑RDM如何以多种方式为城市的韧性和可持续性做出贡献：首先，我们如何应对城市面临的经济，社会和环境挑战，RDM可能会为解决方案做出贡献？第二，哪些技术发展，例如制造设备和数字技术，是RDM的推动因素，它们对一系列制造应用以及产品和系统的设计有什么影响？第三，社会和政治的发展，例如公共政策、监管、社会企业或环保主义的兴起，对RDM产生了什么影响，它们的含义是什么？第四，重新分配对供应网络和物流安排有何商业影响？最后，对城市的物理和数字基础设施有什么影响？此外，该网络将通过开展嵌入式重点研究的方式，探索跨学科团队可以聚集在一起应对社会重大挑战并为其解决方案制定研究议程的机制。这些将基于合作，使用合作实验室（一个没有围墙的中心）和生活实验室（一个公私合作伙伴关系的聚会，企业，研究人员，当局和公民共同努力创造新的服务，商业理念，市场和技术）的组合。
