Description

The second edition of this accessible text provides an integrated framework of the study of urban and regional economics. It offers a concise and up-to-date introduction to the main foundational models, principles, and theories of the subject, and uses a range of international examples to illustrate ideas.

Modern Urban and Regional Economics explains the spatial economic underpinnings of the behaviour of urban and regional economies in order to highlight the differences 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.
