From the pre‐industrial time to the postmodern era, human society has seen spatially concentrated economic activities. Even though some industry development is driven by natural features, mechanisms related to the forces of agglomeration are more fundamental; these have also played an important role in the formation of urban areas and industrial structures. Businesses can benefit from locating close to each other, or take advantage of operating in urban areas. Whether it is the reduction in transportation cost or the gains of positive externality from technology spillover, industrial agglomeration has been a central theme in the field of economic geography.
