SKILLED CITIES, REGIONAL DISPARITIES, AND EFFICIENT TRANSPORT:THE STATE OF THE ART AND A RESEARCH AGENDA

The three themes of this talk—cities, regions, and transport—are closely intertwined and gathered in the category R of the JEL Classification System. I discuss cities and regions in separately because they are different spatial units facing specific problems. Transport issues affect both cities and régions, but in different ways. I conclude with a few policy recommendations.
