In The Economies of Central City neighbourhoods Bingham and Zhang examine the location of industry employment in a variety of producer and consumer-oriented industries in relation to major neighbourhood characteristics such as demographic, labour force, socioeconomic, and housing variables. While the primacy of poverty is an aspect of central city neighbourhoods that drives the growth and decline of neighbourhood economies, it implies the significance of effective intervention at early stages of neighbourhood economic disintegration. neighbourhood cluster of industries suggests a direction of neighbourhood redevelopment, and the pervasive spill-over effects of this necessitate the coordination among redevelopment initiatives of bordering neighbourhoods. The research in this text contributes to the urban literature by providing an industry-by-industry analysis of the economies of central city sub-areas in Ohio. This study is informative and illuminating to central city revitalization/redevelopment planning and related efforts that often take place at the neighbourhood level.
