Although the Bay Area's industrial economy boomed during the military-based shipbuilding days of WWII, its role as an industrial center began much earlier, and continued well after the war with the rise of high-tech manufacturing in the South Bay. Richard Walker, leading economic geographer and chair of the California Studies Center at UC Berkeley, traces the history of industrialization in the Bay Area, discusses how different sub-regions of the Bay Area developed their own particular industrial specialization, and explains what impact this has on our current industrial landscape.
