Geographic clustering of firms and urban form: a multivariate analysis

摘要: This paper provides an empirical framework that applies spatial statistics methods to assess the relation between change in geographical clustering of firms and emergence urban form. We contend where locate eventually cluster give rise way commercial industrial land uses are organized over space, which turn defines shape Accordingly, objectives our work twofold: (1) identify extent firm co-location at intra-metropolitan level, (2) examine how geographic different industries contributes decentralization evolution Spatial tools were vital helped fulfill these objectives.
