Reviews

'Masahisa Fujita is undoubtedly the leading scholar in spatial economics. Being the (co-) author of the two main books in urban economics and economic geography, he was especially well qualified to edit this collection of readings in that field. Anyone who wishes to get acquainted with the fundamental contributions in spatial economics, a lively and growing field of research, now has the opportunity to access all of them through a single volume. We should all be grateful to him for this wonderful job.' - Jacques-Francois Thisse, Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium
