Making spatial evolution work for all? A framework for inclusive path development

Abstract: The path development approach has advanced our understanding of the conditions and consequences of spatial evolution. However, in line with evolutionary economic geography at large, the path development literature has focussed primarily on economic growth and much less on the inclusion of disadvantaged groups. Drawing on evolutionary economic geography and inclusive innovation approaches, the article proposes a conceptual framework that combines industrial path development with inclusive path development driven by employment, entrepreneurship and education, and shaped by institutions, network access, agency and policies. The article empirically illustrates the framework by examining the inclusion of Arab and Haredi (Jewish ultra-orthodox) communities into Israel’s high-tech sector.
