Location and Space‑Economy offers a general theory that links where businesses locate with how markets, land use, trade, and cities shape the economy. This classic work frames a dynamic, space‑driven view of economic activity, aiming to explain why regions differ and how those differences influence growth, urban form, and policy. The text surveys both theoretical foundations and practical implications, setting the stage for deeper regional analysis in a companion volume. It treats equilibrium as a useful, though imperfect, guide for understanding long‑run change, agglomeration, and the interdependence of many location forces.
You’ll encounter a clear blend of ideas about industrial location, agricultural location, and urban structure, with an emphasis on how transportation costs, land prices, and other inputs interact to shape outcomes. The book also introduces approaches to visualize and compare location decisions, including diagrams and compatible economic concepts.
- Understand how firms weigh costs and revenues across locations to decide where to operate
- Explore agglomeration economies and the balance of forces that draw or repel activity in cities
- Learn how agricultural locations connect land rents, transport, and production choices
- See how a general framework can guide regional policy and future research
Ideal for readers of economics, urban planning, and geography who want a broad, grounded view of how space and location shape the economy.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate relationship between economic growth, spatial organization, and the dynamic interplay of human activity and the physical environment. It examines how societies evolve from simple agricultural settlements to complex industrialized landscapes, tracing the impact of technological advancements, resource discovery, and trade on the location of industries, the formation of urban centers, and the distribution of populations. The author challenges the prevailing Anglo-Saxon bias in economic thought, which tends to overlook the spatial dimension of economic phenomena. Drawing on insights from pioneers like von Thünen and Làsch, the book proposes a general theory of location and space-economy, arguing that trade and location are fundamentally intertwined, each shaping the other. The book explores the influence of transport costs, labor availability, and agglomeration economies on the location of firms and industries. It analyzes the evolution of market areas, the growth of metropolitan regions, and the interplay of basic and non-basic activities within urban structures. The author examines the implications of technological innovation, particularly the advent of new transport technologies, on regional development and the distribution of economic activity. Ultimately, this book presents a powerful framework for understanding how the spatial organization of economic activity impacts social progress and the distribution of wealth, and offers invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities of shaping a more equitable and sustainable future.
