Vertically linked industries and the monocentric city (Télécharger) - une version existe en français (Chapitre 7 de la thèse)
In this paper I study how the relations between the industry
and more and more specialized services firms can explain the rise of
suburban industrial clusters. I build an urban economics model with
two vertically linked sectors. The vertical disintegration liberates the
location choice of the industry and the services. Then, the industry
clusters that need more land may leave the center (what characterizes
the modern city). When the industry is higherly linked to the services
it agglomerates around the CBD (what characterizes the post-modern
city).
Keywords: urban development, vertical linkages, spatial disintegration,
suburbanization, firm location
