Economic Geography

Specifically, economic geography is the study of the location, distribution and spatial organisation of economic activities, across the earth. The subject matter investigated is strongly influenced by the researcher's methodological approach. Economic geography is usually regarded as a subfield of the discipline of geography. Given the variety of approaches, economic geography has taken to many different subject matters, including: the location of industries, economics of agglomeration, transportation, international trade and development, real estate, gentrification, ethnic economics, gendered economics, core-periphery theory, the economics of urban form, the relationship between the environment and the economy and globalisation. Economic geography requires an exclusive and exhaustive book. This book is aimed at filling the room for a comprehensive book on the subject for students, teachers and scholars.
