The 1920’s saw dramatic technological developments, which shaped the world as we know it today. As Ford took the former luxury of a car into the hands of the people in the early 1900’s, by 1927 it had produced more than 15 million of its Model T and dramatically changed mobility in the western world. This automobile boom drove huge infrastructure projects to connect cities, people and commerce, like never before. Yet this automobile technology was not new – in fact, the technology had been developed towards the end of the 19th century, but it was the shift from learning to manufacture on a large scale which drove the real change.
