Static vs. dynamic agglomeration economies. Spatial context and structural evolution behind urban growth

For at least two decades, cities have been back on the policy agenda in both Europe and the US as the pivotal places where the new societal goals of enhancing competitiveness, wellbeing, sustainability and cohesion may find their driving forces—and where they will also face the main complexities and contradictions (Glaeser et al. 1992; Camagni and Gibelli 1996; Glaeser 1998; EC 1998; Scott 2001). At the same time, on the more stylized and analytical dimension but closely intertwined with the policy debate, the concept of agglomeration economies and its relation with spatial economic performance has maintained a central role.
