Description
Territorial Economics: Theory and Practice is a groundbreaking textbook on territorial economics gives a valuable overview of economic dynamics, urbanization, and regional development. Representing a significant contribution to discipline, this book focuses on territorial economics, distinct from traditional regional economics frameworks. By examining space, regions, and cities as essential components of an ‘economics of places', the book explores the connections between applied economics and regional science. It covers the complexities of globalization and regionalization and emphasizes the increasing importance of territorial economics from both positive and normative viewpoints. The initial chapters of this textbook on territorial economics explore the concept of 'territory' in economic development and analyze regional economic systems' role in spatial planning. Subsequent chapters cover agricultural spaces, environmental sustainability, regional disparities, and land-use challenges. The book concludes with a focus on data sources, variables, and indicators essential for applied economics. Integrating urban studies, demographic dynamics, and environmental assessment, it provides a holistic view of economic dynamics and spatial planning. Territorial Economics: Theory and Practice serves as a vital resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students studying economic geography, urban studies, and related fields. It is also beneficial for researchers and professionals in territorial economics, urban planning, and environmental policy. This textbook offers additional resources such as case studies and spreadsheets to support student learning and facilitate classroom discussions.Key Features
