Along with the economic and technological contribution to industrial enterprises, the industrial history of today's Vojvodina has also been defined by the social, political and cultural context in which generations of industrialists and workers existed. In addition to inducing social disintegration and promoting the development of new lifestyles and cultural trends, industrialization has also contributed to the urbanization of settlements and development of new architectural types and structural solutions.
Railway traffic was the generator of industrialization of the whole of Hungary in the second half of the 19th century and specific means of its industrial development in the upcoming period. The huge importance of the railway in the economic expansion of the periphery of current Hungary makes it an indispensable segment of the region's industrial past.
In the 19th century, grain storage, a concept that dates back to the time of man's transition from nomadic to a stationary way of life, becomes the link between agriculture and food industry in the agricultural areas of southern Hungary.
In this context, this specific economic activity was analysed as the second element of the industrial past of Vojvodina.
From a series of prevalent and successful industries, five of them were chosen as main contributors to the transformation of previously strong agricultural regions of former Torontál and Bács-Bodrog counties into industrial regions in the late 19th century. The centuries-long continuity of the analysed industries, evolving from manufacturing production, was also one of the criteria for selecting milling, brewing, silk production, sugar industry and brick production.
For each of the five selected industries, two examples of industrial complexes were analysed. After presenting their historical background as well as social, economic and technological importance, the selected examples were discussed from urban, engineering and architectural aspects.
