Economic Geography and the Unequal Development of Regions

Summary

Behind the mystery of economic growth stands another mystery: why do some places fare better than others? This book aims to discuss the main economic reasons for the existence of peaks and troughs in the spatial distribution of wealth and people, with a special emphasis on the role of large cities and regional agglomerations in the process of economic development.
