Regional Planning and Development Theories

Hadjimichalis C. and Hudson R. Contemporary crisis across Europe and the crisis of regional development theories, Regional Studies. This paper explores the prima facie puzzling issue of why so much contemporary theory in economic geography and regional planning – specifically New Economic Geography (NEG) and New Regionalism (NR) – has so little to say about the causes of the current post-2007 crisis and its geography globally and in Europe. It is argued here that this reflects its obsession with the regional ‘success stories’ of the 1970s and 1980s, its failure to appreciate the onset of crisis and the reasons for it in these regions in the 1990s, and its failure to appreciate the nature of capitalism as a crisis prone social system of combined and uneven development. Thus, the current economic crisis pushed dominant regional development theories into a homologous deep theoretical crisis. It is concluded that the time is ripe for a paradigm shift in theory and that this should involve a reconsideration of earlier theoretical approaches that fell out of fashion for a variety of intellectual and political reasons and of current radical social movements.

The authors show how a common approach that emphasizes the three-way interaction among increasing returns, transportation costs, and the movement of productive factors can be applied to a wide range of issues in urban, regional, and international economics. Since 1990 there has been a renaissance of theoretical and empirical work on the spatial aspects of the economy—that is, where economic activity occurs and why. Using new tools—in particular, modeling techniques developed to analyze industrial organization, international trade, and economic growth—this "new economic geography" has emerged as one of the most exciting areas of contemporary economics. The authors show how seemingly disparate models reflect a few basic themes, and in so doing they develop a common "grammar" for discussing a variety of issues. They show how a common approach that emphasizes the three-way interaction among increasing returns, transportation costs, and the movement of productive factors can be applied to a wide range of issues in urban, regional, and international economics. This book is the first to provide a sound and unified explanation of the existence of large economic agglomerations at various spatial scales.

Due to the unique characteristics of the innovation process, the government plays an important role in its stimulation. However, the adaptation of national innovative policies to regional and local conditions is the responsibility of regional and local authorities. Sustainable development of the region will be achieved only if its stakeholders such as business, R & D units and the relevant authorities are involved. The primary task of the public authority is to coordinate activities and to create a favorable climate for economic development in the region. Both primary and secondary regional development theories define multiple sources of economic growth. The main objective of this article is to show the role of local government in the development of regional innovation policy in accordance with the secondary theories of regional development. Secondary theories are based on the following primary theories: the economic base theory of W. Sombart, the growth poles theory of F. Perroux, the A. Marshall’s industrial districts theory, the theory of industrial clusters of M.E. Porter and the J.Coleman’s theory of social capital. Due to the limitations of this article, the text describes only some secondary theories of regional development. These theories come from the economic base theory of W. Sombart and the industrial districts theory of A. Marshall.

Modern economic situation in Russia depends not only on external economic and political circumstances. It is largely determined by the variety of unsolved domestic economic problems. The paper examines investment processes that lead to structural changes in regional economy. The article aims to assess the quality parameters of old-industrial regional economies and propose practical recommendations for its improvement by developing and implementing investment policies. The research identifies existing factors that determine the growth of economic sectors, providing for the development of the entire regional economy due to the balanced structure and interests in the use of resources (production factors). As a result, the theoretical concept of structural changes in regional economy was clarified on the basis of neo-industrialisation and regional development theories. Causal relationship between investment processes and structural changes in regional economy in time and space was considered.

A collection of the first section of the "Fundamentals of Pure and Applied Economics" series, "Regional and Urban Economics: Parts One and Two" is an encyclopaedia containing eight titles: This volume highlights original contributions in regional and urban economics, concentrating mainly on urban economic theory. The contributions focus on the treatment of space in economic theory. Drawing on the body of literature developed by Von Thunen, Christaller and Losch, these chapters explore empirical, theoretical and applied aspects of urban and regional economics which can be divided into the following areas: Location Theory, "Jean Jaskold Gabszewicz, Jacques-Francois Thisse, Masahisa Fujita "and" Urs Schwiezer"Urban Public Finance, "David E. Wildasin"Urban Dynamics and Urban Externalities, "Takahiro Miyao "and" Yoshitsugu" "Kanemoto"Systems of Cities and Facility Location,

Summary In this paper is a detailed analysis of the basics in the theory of economic development during the period from mid last century until today. It states the most significant theories, points out their ranges, offers a critical review regarding their treatment of development, especially regional, rural and local one. It observes those theories according to different classifications existing in scientific literature, primarily the ascend theory, stagnation theory, balanced economic growth theory; then, short-term and long-term development and growth theories; traditional and endogenous theories; economic growth stages theory emphasized after the WW II; structural changes theory; dependency theory, neo-classic counter-revolution theory and endogenous theory as a new growth theory. The analysis becomes wider with a study on development in regional economy theories and rural studies and it systematizes the classification of those theories according to regional economy academics. Distancing ourselves from any particular division as the most suitable and acceptable one, the theories are treated separately and in an historic context, in order to encircle the time framework which from modern theories, dealing with local level development difficulties, resulted. It asserts The Community-led Rural Development Theory, often referred to as the Community Development Theory, or marked as Bottom-up Partnership Approach. The analysis of development theories asserts that mixed exogenous - endogenous approach to development links the rural/local development to the globalization process mostly due to fast technology changes of the IT and communication sectors.

Along with the social division of labor refinement, under the process of global economic development, because of the advanced management thought and form of organization, logistics was applied in regional economic development, including the effect of stress on the development of regional economic integration, widespread concern from all walks of life, important research direction of regional economy gradually into the relationship between logistics and regional economic growth. In this paper, according to the regional logistics in our country economic development theory and the international logistics under the support of economic theory, with real GDP index to measure the Yangtze river between silk road economic belt and the surrounding areas in major provinces and cities logistics technical index of economic development, regional economic development and logistics technology level of two indicators to measure the qualitative relationship analysis, USES the international cargo logistics turnover function to measure, mainly using logistic function using the quantitative analysis model of measure of the relationship between the two.

It is extremely important to predict the logistics requirements in a scientific and rational way. However, in recent years, the improvement effect on the prediction method is not very significant and the traditional statistical prediction method has the defects of low precision and poor interpretation of the prediction model, which cannot only guarantee the generalization ability of the prediction model theoretically, but also cannot explain the models effectively. Therefore, in combination with the theories of the spatial economics, industrial economics, and neo-classical economics, taking city of Zhuanghe as the research object, the study identifies the leading industry that can produce a large number of cargoes, and further predicts the static logistics generation of the Zhuanghe and hinterlands. By integrating various factors that can affect the regional logistics requirements, this study established a logistics requirements potential model from the aspect of spatial economic principles, and expanded the way of logistics requirements prediction from the single statistical principles to an new area of special and regional economics.

B a c k gr ou nd . A pressing issue of contemporary economic development is the integration of indigenous (traditional) economies into the modern world. This challenge primarily concerns countries with underdeveloped economies that strive to overcome their economic difficulties by adopting the advanced practices of economically developed nations. In this context, the dialogue between the theories of indigenous economic development and modernization theories becomes particularly relevant. One of the most critical aspects of this dialogue is the exploration of the relationship between morality and economy, which are key spheres for the realization of the essential human capacities. M e t ho ds . The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is the general principles of scientific knowledge, such as dialectics, objectivity, unity of historical and logical principles in the analysis of the relationship between morality and economics in the context of the dialogue between theories of original development and theories of "modernity". The comparative method and methods of analysis and synthesis of information from domestic and foreign scientific literature were also used. The study is characterised by the complementary application of the above methods, as well as the methodological synthesis of integrative and interdisciplinary approaches. R esu l t s . The study has shown that in the modern world, indigenous cultures, while undergoing the modernizing influence of Western society, are capable of maintaining their endogenous character. Accordingly, the dialogue between theories of endogenous development and modernization theories is complex but holds significant promise. At the level of spiritual and economic culture in societies that adhere to tradition, the aspiration toward modernization naturally leads to the assimilation of national culture with, for example, that of Western Europe. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent the modernization process from acquiring a cynically bureaucratic nature, as this would adversely affect the preservation of national culture and societal identity. C on c l us i on s . Morality and economics are organically interconnected and interdependent phenomena, which creates the need for a moral choice of priorities in the economic life of modern society and influences the formation of economic ethics. The process of modernisation of underdeveloped economies should be clear, transparent and filled with humanistic content.

The article discusses theoretical approaches to the factors of economic development. These approaches include theories that were created as a result of the search for the causes of differentiation in development rates and that recognize that the most important thing for development is the mobilization of the region's internal potentials. The authors analyze four concepts: New Economic Geography, Evolutionary Economics, Sustainable Development, and Intellectual Specialization. The new economic geography considers spatial relations not as one of many, but as the main factor determining socio-economic processes of growth and development. According to the concept, the main role is played by two internal forces that cause the processes of concentration and deconcentration of human/economic activity, and the result of these forces is the formation and development of agglomeration. Evolutionary economics is one of the most modern theories of economic growth and development. This theory describes economic processes by analogy with evolutionary processes in nature. Three features distinguishing it from other theories are indicated: the concept of equilibrium, the dynamics of processes, and the characteristics of business entities. The concept pays special attention to such properties as diversity, complexity, and uncertainty of socio-economic processes, which are necessary conditions for development and for development. Sustainable development is an extension of the neoliberal paradigm. Economic development is still in the forefront here, but social and environmental factors are taken into account to preserve the foundations of life and development for present and future generations. The subject of sustainable development economics is management in the society-economy-environment system. The concept of intellectual specialization is a new approach in the European Union's policy, which has become a key element of its regional policy. The strategy includes three interrelated priorities: smart growth; sustainable development; and inclusive inclusion. The aim of the strategy is to develop an individual approach for each region in all EU countries to overcome the recession and ensure long-term development.

Regional Economics and Economic Geography from a Neo-Schumpeterian Perspective

Regional unbalanced development refers to a common phenomenon in the process of regional development. China is currently in the process of transitioning from regional unbalanced development to balanced development. Therefore, it is of theoretical and practical significance to sort out the theory of regional unbalanced development and China's practical experience. Representative regional historians and economists have explained the process of regional unbalanced development from the perspectives of historical reality and economic theory, and have developed relevant theories. Pero believed that the significant differences in the foundations of economic development among different regions led to the emergence of regional imbalances. Hirsch emphasized the necessity of imbalanced development in the early stages of economic development, while Myrdal further explained the reasons and mechanisms of uneven growth, as well as how it affects regional economic development. The main manifestations of unbalanced regional development in China currently include: uneven development in the four major regions, uneven development within regions, and uneven development between urban and rural areas. In response to the problem of unbalanced development in China, China has taken measures such as organizing and implementing the poverty alleviation campaign, deepening the implementation of regional coordinated development strategies, and promoting new urbanization centered on people to narrow the regional development gap.

This volume, comprised of authors from the U.S., Canada, Africa, and Europe, centers on the development, transformation, and role of geographic /regional economies-- specifically in the globalized, post-2009 era. The authors address topics that every region must consider in responding to idea age, globally competitive, regionally driven economies. The volume builds on a large body of scholarship specific to regional economic development and geography by providing a much needed post-2009 perspective on regional economic environments and activities. Among the topics addressed are the emergence and boundaries of new economic geographies; the actors, characteristics, and functions of regional innovation systems as well as the opportunities and challenges associated with region-specific cultural and environmental interactions. It also examines the relationship of regional economies to diminishing country based economies and the critical relationship to globalization.

Based on regional economic theory, this article explores the relationship between industrial transfer and regional economic growth, focusing on analyzing the mechanism of factor flow (labor, capital, technology) in the process of industrial transfer and its impact on regional economic development. The study combines neoclassical economic growth theory, new economic geography and gradient transfer theory to construct a theoretical framework of industrial transfer and factor flow, and verifies the applicability of the theoretical model through practical cases of industrial transfer in China (such as the transfer of industries from the Pearl River Delta to the central and western regions). The study found that industrial transfer has significantly promoted regional economic growth by optimizing factor allocation, promoting technological spillovers and industrial agglomeration, but it may also exacerbate regional development imbalances. To this end, this article puts forward policy suggestions, including strengthening regional policy coordination, improving labor skill matching, optimizing ecological environment governance, etc., to promote high-quality development of industrial transfer and sustainable growth of regional economy.
