Behind the mystery of economic growth stands another mystery: why do some places fare better than others? This book aims to discuss the main economic reasons for the existence of peaks and troughs in the spatial distribution of wealth and people, with a special emphasis on the role of large cities and regional agglomerations in the process of economic development.

Behind the mystery of economic growth stands another mystery: why do some places fare better than others? Casual evidence shows that sizable differences exist at very different spatial scales (countries, regions and cities). This book aims to discuss the main economic reasons for the existence of peaks and troughs in the spatial distribution of wealth and people, with a special emphasis on the role of large cities and regional agglomerations in the process of economic development.

Jean-Claude Prager is Chief Economist at the Greater Paris Corporation, France. Jacques-François Thisse is Professor of Economics and Regional Science at the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium.
