This document outlines the agenda for a summer school on designing products and services for urban resilience through local manufacturing. It includes sessions on makers and laboratories, the history of computing and digital fabrication, and communities in the maker movement. Additional topics cover the development of cities, concepts like fab labs and maker cities, and potential focus areas for student groups such as local manufacturing, distributed energy, and building a circular economy through collaboration.

66. Reshoring
1. The dollar has weakened
2. Wage differentials have narrowed between U.S. and key manufacturing economies
3. Natural gas prices have declined in America relative to global price levels
4. Global supply chains have become slower and more expensive
5. Various forms of volatility have become more apparent and thus a larger concern
6. Miscellaneous other factors point in the same direction: “nearsourcing” (IP, Quality
Control)

The numbers show Google's data centers use 260million watts - enough to
power a city of 100,000 to 200,000 people, reports tech blog Gizmodo.
Salt Lake City, Utah, by comparison, has a population of 186,440.
