Lectures on Location Theory

"Continuing the (neo-) classical tradition of von Thunen, Launhardt, Weber, Palander, and Losch this book offers a fresh approach to the location of industries and other economic activities, of market areas, spatial price distribution, locational specialization, urban and transportation systems, and spatial interaction in general. It uses elementary economic reasoning supported by simple mathematical models, some classical, some linear. The author has been active in this field since 1950."--BOOK JACKET.
