industrialisation
Shift to manufacturing
Industrialisation is the process of developing industries on a large scale, transforming an economy from primarily agricultural to manufacturing-based.
The shift typically brings urbanisation, new technologies, and changes in labour patterns: Britain's industrialisation began in the late 18th century.
The word often appears in discussions of economic development and environmental impact.
Also spelled industrialization.
