Abstract: Abstract. Although wide recognition has been given to the recent industrialization of the Southeast, little attention has been directed toward specific causes and the societal effects of this economic change. A concentration in manufacturing has occurred frequently in low‐wage, low‐growth industries as a result of labor surpluses and certain external economies in the region and also as a result of deglomerative forces acting in the older established manufacturing areas. It would appear that these compositional changes in the region's economy would lead to societal changes in an urbanistic direction.
