At the Ford Rouge Center “Sustainability” is meant literally to return industrial development to its roots, finding a way for manufacturing to support the environment, rather than degrade it.  Until now, however, industrial sustainability has been largely a concept and a test.  But with a vision immense in its scope, the Ford Rouge Center is churning up the grounds for 100 years of assumptions about what a manufacturing plant needs to be, replacing it with a massive example of what a production facility should be, creating an entirely new approach to industry’s place in the environment.
