Abstract

Regional growth can generally be defined as quantitative economic growth, especially the total change in industrial employment in the inner cities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the urban industrial structure and the changes in regional growth from 1999–2003 using a growth rate differential analysis. Growth rate differential ratio (GRDA) has revised shift share analysis and consists of two parts: weight (MIR) and rate (SRR). The results of the analysis show the following. First, 77 of 78 urban areas have advantageous industrial structures compared to those of other regions, but are shown to be very weak in the area of rate (SRR). Second, there is a growth disparity between metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan areas. Third, there is no correlation between the most rapidly grown industry in a city and the strategic industry that is intensively fostered in the city.
