商品描述

This book is an attempt to bridge the academic discipline of economic geography with the professional field of economic development. Through case studies of economic development, it illustrates two fundamental concepts of the sub-discipline of economic geography: scale and spatial connections. It demonstrates some of the ways that economic development policies and plans are linked globally, nationally, regionally, and locally. It ties together several studies of communities and transportation systems in Texas and Mexico carried out from the late 2010's through 2021. The studies shed light on the need to study economic development at multiple scales and to do so through blended qualitative research methods that include conversations with economic development stakeholders, published data, news content from the business and trade media, and direct observation of the built environment.

The book is a set of narratives that combine descriptions of the evolution of commercial transportation systems, economic promotion in selected communities, and corresponding changes in the built environment. It is organized into three sections, each of which corresponds to a different scale at which economic development functions: macro, regional, and local.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書旨在將經濟地理學的學術領域與經濟發展的專業領域連結起來。透過經濟發展的案例研究，該書闡述了經濟地理學子領域的兩個基本概念：規模和空間連結。它展示了經濟發展政策和計畫在全球、國家、區域和地方層面上的聯繫方式。書中綜合了從2010年代末到2021年在德克薩斯州和墨西哥進行的幾項社區和交通系統的研究。這些研究突顯了在多個規模上研究經濟發展的必要性，並且應透過混合的定性研究方法進行，包括與經濟發展利益相關者的對話、已發表的數據、商業和貿易媒體的新聞內容，以及對建成環境的直接觀察。

本書是一組敘述，結合了商業交通系統的演變、特定社區的經濟促進以及相應的建成環境變化的描述。全書分為三個部分，每個部分對應經濟發展運作的不同規模：宏觀、區域和地方。
