- This 328 page book is based on a complex and extensive research project funded by the Haynes Foundation. It analyses a large body of material to develop a significant and influential synthesis of urban economic development. It offers a causal narrative of two US cities, exploiting in-depth case studies of Los Angeles and San Francisco to provide multi-layered insights into how and why the two cities have diverged and specialised in different types of industry. The text integrates a wealth of deep and broad empirical evidence. It is widely discussed and cited in urban studies, regional science and economic geography.
