The Spaces of Urban Economic Geographies: Industrial Transformation in the Outer City of Copenhagen

Author

  • Høgni Kalsø Hansen
  • Lars Winther

Summary, in English

The paper focuses on the transformation of the industrial structure

and the location dynamics on the edge of the metropolitan region of

Copenhagen with the aim of explaining the rise of new spaces in the

urban economic geography. The main concern of the paper is the

role the transformation of the outer city plays in the urban economy

of Copenhagen. The centre of attention is on the changing industrial

structure, the progressively higher complexity of firm location, and

the division of labour that have emerged in the past decade of

growth as a result of the resurgence of the metropolitan region of

Copenhagen. The recent changes in the economic geographies of

the outer city of Copenhagen are used as a launch pad for discussing

the theoretical and analytical challenges in understanding

the industrial change in new urban forms.
