Abstract

Abstract This chapter establishes a more extended and nuanced behavioural model of urban and regional economic development and returns to considering what ‘development’ actually means and how outcomes can be measured. This reflects a move away from depending solely on traditional measures of urban and regional development based on Gross Domestic Product. Instead, the chapter investigates the outcomes for individuals in terms of their economic positions and also measures of broader satisfaction. To bring together the theoretical and empirical insights from the preceding chapters, this chapter turns to refining and unpacking the behavioural model of urban and regional development presented earlier, and propositions are developed from the insights gained throughout this book and incorporated into the model.
