Trade Review
‘This book is essential for everybody who wants a modern overview of theories of regional and urban economics. Not only the beginner, but also the experienced reader has something to learn from Capello’s clear exposition. I recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the exciting mysteries of spatial economics.’ -- Hans Westlund, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
‘Advanced Introduction to Regional and Urban Economics represents a fascinating journey through the relationship between economic activity and place, looking at regional and urban economics with new eyes. An essential read for all those interested in a fresh and insightful view of the profound impact of space on economic dynamics.’ -- Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, London School of Economics, UK
