Why are some cities specialised and others diversified?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of urban
specialisation and diversity? To what extent does the structure
of cities, and the activities of firms and people in them, change
over time? How does the sectoral composition of cities influence
their evolution? To answer these and related questions, we first
distil some key stylised facts fromthe empirical literature on cities
and the composition of their activities. We then turn to a review
of different theories looking at such issues, and study the extent
to which these theories contribute to the understanding of the
empirical regularities. |
