Innovation and the Growth of Cities (original) (raw)

The book by Philip McCann discusses the dynamics of industrial location through the lens of the new economic geography, which is rooted in neoclassical economics. It critiques existing frameworks and introduces four approaches to industrial location: two based on neoclassical economics, one emphasizing corporate influence, and a final geographical perspective. While the book revisits established theories, it offers new insights relevant across economics, business, and geography, reaffirming the continuing importance of industrial location dynamics.
