Abstract: Abstract It may be said that two approaches have dominated the literature of urban and regional economics since the 1970s. The first approach is mainly related to location of firms with exogenous spatial distribution of demand (see, for example, Isard (1956), Greenhut et al. (1989)). The second text is mainly related to the economic geography of residential areas with endogenous income and production structures (see, for example, Alonso (1964), Beckmann (1957), Wingo (1961), Muth (1969), Fujita (1989)). There are a few spatial equilibrium models which deal with decision-making by households and producers within a compact framework. This chapter provides a model that bears on problems inherent in economic geography, with interactions of demand and supply of various commodities, price structure and spatial divisions of labour with given preferences, territory, labour force and locational amenities.
