As development proceeds, it is generally assumed that conditions for spatial dispersion of industrial activities emerge. Diseconomies of scale in the core region render the monocentric pattern costly, while the growth and diversification of the economy allows the spread of economic infrastructure and agglomeration economies in hinterland regions. From this perspective, spatial concentration and dispersion are usually seen as moments in the process of economic development (Henderson, 1999a). In this respect, the literature shows a tendency towards quick spatial concentration and slow dispersion as countries develop. |
