The relationship between public investment and regional economic
development is of perennial interest and is particularly topical
now as issues of infrastructure and innovation are high on policy
agendas in many countries. Public investment is often viewed as a
possible method for 'jump-starting' lagging regional economies and
also as a requirement for the continued development of more
prosperous regions. Public Investment and Regional Economic
Development provides a systematic analysis of the complex
relationship between public investment and regional economic
development. The authors offer new insights into the key issues of
regional growth, and present a broad variety of perspectives
ranging from transport and housing infrastructure through to human
capital and innovation. With contributions from leading regional
scientists, and each themed section of the book prefaced with an
editorial introduction to ensure coherence, this illuminating book
is sure to offer policymakers new research insights into key issues
of regional growth. Academics and researchers of urban and regional
planning, geography and economic development will also find the
book of great interest.
This book, originally published in 1988, reviews the development of
high technology industries at global and selected national and
local levels, providing a unique insight into reasons for and
consequences of such modern industrial development. It appraises
government policies for assisting the development of this sector
and focuses on the fact that high tech industry tends to be
concentrated in particular regions of countries which attain the
status of 'successful populations'. High technology industry seems
to offer little benefit to declining manufacturing areas and the
book offers explanations for these regional concentrations and
assesses the likely consequences.
