‘Public Investment and Regional Economic Development is a very interesting and stimulating reading for policymakers and anyone doing research in this area.’
– Adelheid Holl, Environment and Planning C: Government and Planning
The relationship between public investment and regional economic development is of perennial interest and is particularly topical now as issues of infrastructure and innovation are high on policy agendas in many countries. Public investment is often viewed as a possible method for ‘jump-starting’ lagging regional economies and also as a requirement for the continued development of more prosperous regions.
Public Investment and Regional Economic Development provides a systematic analysis of the complex relationship between public investment and regional economic development. The authors offer new insights into the key issues of regional growth, and present a broad variety of perspectives ranging from transport and housing infrastructure through to human capital and innovation.
