Ausgehend von den im ersten Band dargestellten klein-räumlichen Strukturen, die die Bausteine einer Region bilden, verfolgen die Autoren im zweiten Band die Entwicklung von Regionen. Die einzelnen Modelle und Theorien, die die vielfältigen Aspekte der regionalen Entwicklung erklären, werden so dargestellt, dass sie zugleich auch ein Bild dieses gesamten Entwicklungsprozesses zeichnen. Großen Raum nimmt die Darstellung der europäischen Praxis der Regionalpolitik ein. Das Kapitel Innovationsansatz wurde für die 3. Auflage neu konzipiert und in 'Innovation und Wissen' umbenannt.

The book provides the first comprehensive discussion of optimal search theory in a spatial context. By treating the alternatives of a search problem as spatially distributed, the standard structure of an optimal search model is altered considerably. The book discusses the basic structure of this spatial search problem and demonstrates that it falls into a class of highly complex problems. After a brief discussion of potential simplifications and heuristic solutions it applies the microeconomic concept of spatial search to selected aspects of spatial economics like spatial price theory, the theory of market areas, and agglomeration theory. It can be demonstrated that a spatial search based theory can capture a number of well known phenomena, e.g. the transition from a dispersed to an agglomerated locational pattern

This paper presents OpenStreetMap and closely related software as a resource for spatial economic research. The paper demonstrates how information can be extracted from OpenStreetMap, how it can be used as a geographical interface in web-based communication, and illustrates the value of the tools by use of a specific application, the WU campus GIS.
