In Spatial Economics, the authors explore how cities, regions, and the global economy are shaped by the interplay between location, land use, and transportation. They examine why economic activities are clustered in large metropolitan areas and dispersed in vast areas, driven by the balance between the gains from concentration and various congestion and pollution costs. Blending classical theories with modern data and modeling approaches, the book addresses urbanization, spatial inequality, and the effects of policies like infrastructure investments and land regulations.
