Description :
Branch-plant industrialization depended upon a dense railroad infrastructure and a central location in the metropolitan network. It required the complex coordination of initiatives by national manufacturers, regional business elites, railroads, utilities, industrial land developers, and residential subdivisers. The success of the branch-plant strategy depended upon the ability of the local market to supply cheap land in central locations that met the requirements of mass-production processes.
