In 2024, London had the highest construction costs for manufacturing facilities and warehouses among the cities of the United Kingdom included in this list. Building an advanced industrial plant in Manchester cost ***** British pounds per square meter. The figures in Leeds, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester were somewhat similar. Certain areas of London, such as Park Royal, Canning Town, and Acton, had some of the highest rent of new small warehouse units in the UK in 2022. What factors determine construction costs? The cost of labor in construction in the UK amounted to nearly ********** of the overall income in that sector. Apart from the salaries of employees and workers, the price of land and machinery are also quite important. Another element that can be subject to a lot of change is the price of building materials, with the price of concrete re-inforcing bars in the UK growing by nearly ** percent in 2022. However, construction projects also face other costs, such as fees and other administrative costs. Industrial land prices Some components that affect the final cost of constructing warehouses and manufacturing facilities can vary a lot within the same country. For example, salaries tend to be higher in large cities. Along the same lines, the price of industrial land in North London was well over *** times higher than in Edinburgh in 2022. However, these disparities are not as pronounced in every country. Although certain areas of Warsaw had very high prices, industrial and warehouse land prices in other Polish cities such as Poznan, Wroclaw, or Krakow were higher than in the zone III of Warsaw.

The Cities of Making project aimed to initiate and inform debate about the future of manufacturing in European cities. It provides insight into the past, present and potential future roles of manufacturing in the cities of Brussels, London and Rotterdam. The outputs of the project are intended primarily for an audience of policy makers and practitioners, and will be of particular interest to those in the fields of manufacturing and industry, spatial planning and urban design, environmental sustainability, and economic development. It may also be of interest to those involved in citizen engagement within those fields.

This archive contains data collected during the UK portion of the Cities of Making research project.

It includes transcripts of interviews with multiple key stakeholders, information gathered from workshops, and information on various manufacturing sites located in the region around London and the South East of England. Case study sites studied in detail are within the London boroughs of Hackney and Haringey, and also the Old Oak Common / Park Royal Development (OPDC) site. Geo spatial information is provided gathered from site visits and desk based research.

Cities of Making explores opportunities for strengthening urban based manufacturing in European cities following years of decline and offshoring. Using a combination of strategic and action research, our ambition was to identify 'what works' in supporting a resilient and innovative industrial base, and to test those solutions in a real world setting. We took three areas as case study areas, London, Rotterdam and Brussels - each with a distinct industrial heritage. Within each city, the project partners conducted separate but parallel lines of inquiry, encompassing a city diagnosis, and an in-depth academic study. The project generated a comprehensive website, www.citiesofmaking.com, a book, Foundries for the Future, and a set of 50 'pattern' cards that can be used by relevant stakeholders to help develop transition plans to enable urban manufacturing.

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 years and over in England and Wales in employment the week before the census by method used to travel to work (2001 specification) and by industry. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

_As Census 2021 was during a unique period of rapid change, take care when using this data for planning purposes. Due to methodological changes the ‘mainly work at or from home: any workplace type’ category has a population of zero. Please use the transport_to_workplace_12a classification instead.

Area type

Census 2021 statistics are published for a number of different geographies. These can be large, for example the whole of England, or small, for example an output area (OA), the lowest level of geography for which statistics are produced.

For higher levels of geography, more detailed statistics can be produced. When a lower level of geography is used, such as output areas (which have a minimum of 100 persons), the statistics produced have less detail. This is to protect the confidentiality of people and ensure that individuals or their characteristics cannot be identified.

Lower tier local authorities

Lower tier local authorities provide a range of local services. There are 309 lower tier local authorities in England made up of 181 non-metropolitan districts, 59 unitary authorities, 36 metropolitan districts and 33 London boroughs (including City of London). In Wales there are 22 local authorities made up of 22 unitary authorities.

Coverage

Census 2021 statistics are published for the whole of England and Wales. However, you can choose to filter areas by:

• country - for example, Wales
• region - for example, London
• local authority - for example, Cornwall
• health area – for example, Clinical Commissioning Group
• statistical area - for example, MSOA or LSOA

Method used to travel to workplace

A person's place of work and their method of travel to work. This is the 2001 method of producing travel to work variables.

"Work mainly from home" applies to someone who indicated their place of work as their home address and travelled to work by driving a car or van, for example visiting clients.

Industry (current)

Classifies people aged 16 years and over who were in employment between 15 March and 21 March 2021 by the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code that represents their current industry or business.

The SIC code is assigned based on the information provided about a firm or organisation’s main activity.

This dataset is a study of urban occupations in Britain in the early Industrial Revolution, via analysis of entries in sixteen early urban directories. Local town directories were produced in increasing numbers from the 1760s onwards. They were ad hoc works, generally providing listings of leading local inhabitants, with their names, addresses and occupations.
The sources used for this database were selected from all large urban centres with early listings. One directory (or relevant section from a directory) was analysed for every urban centre for which such a local publication was produced either in the 1770s or 1780s. In some cases, the selection was simple, as only one such volume was available. Where there were many (as in the case of London or Birmingham), a substantial edition from an appropriate date was chosen. The range of towns investigated was as wide as possible within the British Isles, defined only by the existence of relevant sources. Most of the early directories served the larger urban communities , although not all big cities had them. In addition, a few smaller places were also included, to add to the range of urban centres in the survey. In all the time span covered was a relatively compact period of fifteen years: from 1772 to 1787. The main topics covered by these data are: occupations; status designations (eg. gentleman/esquire); urban elites; urban society; directories as a source. Main Variables Surname; first name; address; coded occupation; gender; social status.

Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.
