To understand why some regions grow and others stagnate, we need to
understand the interactions between economic growth, economic
geography and the economics of innovation. Each of these individual
approaches has strengths and weaknesses, but when integrated it is
possible, as evidenced by this volume, to develop an appropriate
model of technology-led regional economic development. This
authoritative collection presents a selection of key previously
published articles which investigate these three perspectives. The
volume explores the importance of human capital, entrepreneurship,
clusters, and competition and public policy to the growth of
cities. The editor has written a new introduction which highlights
the contribution of each article, and calls for a closer
collaboration between economics and regional science in order to
develop a new approach to the study of the growth of cities.
