Since 1990, its production activity has positively impacted on the local community’s welfare improvement through increasing employment opportunity and household income. However, it also has threatened the existing spatial development change. By using sequential mixed method approach, the purpose of this research is to investigate the contributions of red brick industry growth towards peri-urban development, both spatially and socio-economically.
