Abstract

This paper explores some of the possible links that exist between regional economic change and regional spatial structure. The nature and significance of these links are discussed and three familiar examples from regional planning are used to illustrate the argument. These examples involve the regional reorganisation of service provision, the emergence of a depressed-area problem, and the trend toward metropolitan decentralisation (regional deconcentration). In each case the public-policy implications are briefly outlined. Consideration is then given to frameworks which can deal with the interrelatedness of regional economic change and regional spatial structure. Two broad frameworks are discussed. One involves an integration of regional economic analysis and location theory, and the other is concerned with approaches in which the two elements of economic change and spatial structure are interwoven.
