Modern Urban and Regional Economics - Grand Format

Modern urban and regional economics explains the spatial economic underpinnings of the behaviour of urban and regional economies in order to highlight the differences and connections between the two types of economy. The explicitly spatial approach enables the author to present both urban economics and regional economics within a single integrated framework, using clear model-based explanations from first principles and extensive graphic illustration of the theories discussed.
Technical appendices to each chapter allow students to follow up in more detail the main principles and theories discussed in the text. The book discusses urban and regional economics within a coherent and integrated framework, emphasizing the importance of geographical and spatial factors. Model-based explanation from first principles and extensive graphic illustrations of the theories discussed make this the ideal introduction to both urban and regional economics.
