Abstract
For a long time the inadequacy of the traditional Weberian agglomeration analysis1 has been fully recognized. Palander, in particular, has pointed up its shortcomings.2 More recently, a fresh and more general approach has been made by P. Sargant Florence and others.3 This approach, primarily an attempt to identify from processed census data meaningful geographical associations in industry, of necessity does not concern itself with the development of a theoretical framework.4
This work was co-authored with Walter Isard and was published originally in the Review of Economics and Statistics, 35 (1953), pp. 289–301. It is reproduced with permission of Elsevier Science Publishers.
The study was done partly under the auspices of the Social Science Research Center, the University of Puerto Rico, and of the Center of Urban and Regional Studies, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The basic projections were completed in February 1952 for investment use by the firm of Minot, De Blois and Maddison, who generously financed the work in the initial stage.
