Section 3: Jacobs’ Spectrum of Economic Regions
From: Cities Matter
$0.50
Chapter 10 explores supply regions also know as resource economies, which are areas that are endowed with highly demanded natural resources and exploited as such. This chapter discusses the inherent fragility of these economies, their lack of ability to adapt to change, ‘backward’ economies, and the example of the Cleveland Cliffs, Ohio.
