Secondary Cities, New Economic Geography, Local Economic Development, Internationalization of ProductionAbstract
The internalisation of production has contributed to a new economic geography that has created significant challenges for cities. There are some cities which are integrated into the global economy and more prepared to deal with the automation processes: however, others have not been able to soak in global value chains (GVCs) and they are at risk faced with automatization process. Using elements of the Local Economic Development approach (LED), this article proposes four axes to addresses the challenges that the new
economic geography considers for secondary cities, i.e., the less prepared than other cities to integrate in the global economy, are home to much of the world population.
