Abstract: In this paper the extent to which there are systematic intraurban location effects on firm performance is investigated. A very disaggregated approach is adopted, with a focus on firms in a single industry (engineering) in a single city (Leeds). With use of both ratio and regression analysis it is found that, on average, engineering firms located in the inner Leeds area have a lower level of profitability.
