'''Industrialisation''' (also spelled '''Industrialization''') or an '''Industrial Revolution''' is a process of [[social]] and [[economic]] change whereby a human [[society]] is transformed from a pre-industrial (an economy where the amount of capital accumulated per capita is low) to an [[industry|industrial]] state (see [[Pre-industrial society]]). It is a part of wider [[modernization|modernisation]] process. This social and economic change is closely intertwined with [[technology|technological]] innovation, particularly the development of large-scale [[energy]] production and [[metallurgy]].

Industrialisation (also spelled Industrialization) or an Industrial Revolution is a process of social and economic change whereby a human society is transformed from a pre-industrial (an economy where the amount of capital accumulated per capita is low) to an industrial state (see Pre-industrial society). It is a part of wider modernisation process. This social and economic change is closely intertwined with technological innovation, particularly the development of large-scale energy production and metallurgy. Industrialisation is also related to some form of philosophical change, or to a different attitude in the perception of nature, though whether these philosophical changes are caused by industrialisation or vice-versa is subject to debate. The world's first industrialised city was Manchester in northwest England.
