Economic activities are not concentrated on the head of a pin, nor are they spread evenly over a featureless plane. On the contrary, they are distributed very unequally across locations, regions and countries. Even though economic activities are, to some extent, spatially concentrated because of natural features, economic mechanisms that rely on the trade-off between various forms of increasing returns and different types of mobility costs are more fundamental. This book is a study of the economic reasons for the existence of a large variety of agglomerations arising from the global to the local. This second edition combines a comprehensive analysis of the fundamentals of spatial economics and an in-depth discussion of the most recent theoretical developments in new economic geography and urban economics. It aims to highlight several of the major economic trends observed in modern societies.

1. Agglomeration and economic theory; Part I. Fundamentals of Spatial Economics: 2. The breakdown of the price system in a spatial economy; 3. The von Thunen model and land rent formation; 4. Increasing returns vs. transportation costs: the fundamental trade-off of spatial economics; 5. Cities and the public sector; Part II. The Structure of Metropolitan Areas: 6. The spatial structure of cities under communication externalities; 7. The formation of urban centers under imperfect competition; Part III. Factor Mobility and Industrial Location: 8. Industrial agglomeration under monopolistic competition; 9. Market size and industrial clusters; Part IV. Urban Systems, Regional Growth, and the Multinationalization of Firms: 10. Back to von Thunen: the formation of cities in a spatial economy; 11. Globalization, growth, and the geography of the supply chain.
