industrial districts
Definition
- Industrial districts refer essentially to spatial agglomerations of a specific industry and/or related industries. There is no commonly shared definition of an industrial district and, at times, it has been a source of debate among geographers and economists, but the concept entails concentrations of related firms, suppliers, other support industries, customers, and, of increasingly paramount importance, a high level of human capital.
