Document Summary

Storper & walker (1989: 96) criticise the common view that industries follow location factors in choosing optimal locations i. Instead: industries create regional resources and not the other way around . Further: firms and sectors generate their own input histories, and those of their chosen regions . Industrial location/regional disparities are explained as processes of industrial evolution through several stages e. In canada economic activity is concentrated in 3 metropolitan areas. If we look at where industries are located we have to look at the spatial economy. How do such areas develop and why do industries locate so closely to one another. Industries locate in certain areas then shape them and a structure develops according to the development of the industry. It can happen anywhere, as long as there is labour and some support facilities. There is a wide window of locational opportunity because they don"t really know what a low cost optimal production will be.
