The theoretical framework of the approach stems directly from space-economy, and, more generally, from location theory and the theory of urban systems. The author explores a certain logic to be found in world history, and argues that this logic is spatial (in terms of spatial inertia, spatial trends, attractive and repulsive forces, vector fields, etc.) rather than geographical (in terms of climate, precipitation, hydrography). Accordingly, the book puts forward a truly original vision of urban world history, one that will benefit economists, historians, regional scientists, and anyone with a healthy curiosity. 000914748 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 23, 2019). 000914748 650_0 $$aCities and towns$$xHistory. 000914748 650_0 $$aSociology, Urban. 000914748 650_0 $$aPolarization (Social sciences) 000914748 650_0 $$aSpace in economics. 000914748 650_0 $$aWorld history. 000914748 650_0 $$aEconomic history. 000914748 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTellier, Luc-Normand$$tUrban World History : An Economic and Geographical Perspective$$dCham : Springer,c2019$$z9783030248413 000914748 852__ $$bebk 000914748 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-24842-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000914748 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:914748$$pGLOBAL_SET 000914748 980__ $$aEBOOK 000914748 980__ $$aBIB 000914748 982__ $$aEbook 000914748 983__ $$aOnline 000914748 994__ $$a92$$bISE
