“…In relation to their urban system centrality role, historical medium-sized cities have been understood through their population (demographic weight naturally constitutes the most favoured indicator for choosing the location of certain services and facilities), transport (efficiency and accessibility of transport infrastructure), tourism (indicator of attractiveness), amenities, manufacturing, knowledge, decision-making in the private sector (capacity to influence) and decision-making in the public sector (the development of administrative functions) (Adam, 2006;Antikainen & Vartiainen, 1999;ESPON, 2004;Ganau & Vilagrasa, 2003;Growe, 2012;Henderson, 1997;Hildreth, 2007;Kunzmann, 2009;Leichenko, 2001;Méndez et al, 2008;Turok & Mykhenenko, 2007).…”

The case of Madrid is used as empirical focus to propose a new classification of the metropolitan region urban medium-sized or secondary city system. Based on a methodology that integrates the morphological (size, location and socioeconomic history) and the functional dimensions (centrality index, advanced producer services (APS) concentration and commuting), the article compares new employment centres-cities with metropolitan origin-and historical cities-previously free standing cities, progressively integrated in metropolitan processes. The results show a distinction between (1) metropolitan cities, with a traditional intermediation role, and (2) metropolitan intermediary cities, that include an additional quality to their traditional intermediation role, that of concentrating APS. The article confirms that some medium-sized cities-metropolitan intermediary cities-linked to different origins and up to 100 km away from the metropolis are more visible in the global scene and are establishing an emerging global multicore-network at a metropolitan-regional scale.

“…Only one NEC (Getafe) has a high supply of APS and a manufacturing base that is still important, as well as achieving full insertion in the knowledge society and economy. Local actors have favoured its industrial transformation into an industrial knowledge and innovation economy (Méndez et al, 2008).…”

The Governance of Local Productive Systems: Co‐Ordination Problems Regarding Pyrotechnic Production in Tultepec, Mexico

This paper examines the governance of local productive systems by articulating two fundamental concepts from geographical institutionalism: path dependency and contingency. We identify internal and external contingencies that have significantly impacted the development trajectory of pyrotechnic production in Tultepec, Mexico, giving rise to governance dynamics characterised by a lack of co‐ordination among local producer associations. Consequently, the main local institutional arrangements are controlled by particular interest groups. This limits the participation of local actors in defining national regulations relating to pyrotechnic production, resulting in a vertical/centralised law mainly defined by the state. We argue that improving the governance of the pyrotechnic productive system in Tultepec requires the co‐ordination of private and public actors at different territorial scales, in order to build up an inclusive regulatory framework which can take into consideration the diversity of local producers.

“…This study focuses on the Spanish region of Andalusia, an autonomous community which presents significant territorial diversity, as demonstrated by various studies spanning different perspectives and objectives (Caravaca, González, & Mendoza, 2007; Fernández, Mendoza, Pedregal, & Zoido, 2007; Méndez, Melero, & Calatrava, 2008; Peña, 2004; Pita & Pedregal, 2011; Rodríguez, 1999; Sánchez, Gallardo, & Ceña, 2014; Torres & Ojeda, 2004; Zoido & Caballero, 2001; Zoido, Pedregal, Pita, Torres, & Fernández‐Tabales, 2009, among others). Moreover, in socioeconomic terms this region is relatively behind the rest of the Spanish autonomous communities, as evinced by the at‐risk‐of‐poverty rate from the 2016 Living Conditions Survey [Encuesta de Vidas Laborales], for which, at 35.4%, Andalusia had the highest rate of all the autonomous communities, surpassing the national average (22.3%) by thirteen percentage points; or the unemployment rate, which reached 27% for the first quarter of 2017, according to the Economically Active Population Survey [Encuesta de Población Activa, abbreviated as EPA in Spanish].…”

The “business–territory” relationship of cooperative societies as compared to the conventional business sector in the region of Andalusia

The purpose of this study is to identify whether cooperativism in Andalusia is related to the territory in which it takes place. The discovery of a "cooperativism-territory" relationship is of particular interest, given Andalusia's significant territorial diversity and the ability of cooperative societies to adapt to different surroundings. Noteworthy among the results is the greater connection shown by cooperative societies to the area in which they carry out their activities, compared with that seen in the conventional business sector. As such, cooperative societies are strategic entities in terms of responding and adapting to the evolution of certain localized social needs emerging in the region of Andalusia.
