This volume collects a set of papers representing some of the main contributions of the 'Florence school' to the literature on industrial districts from the 1970s to the beginning of the 2000s. Models of industrial organisation and empirical investigation of industrial tendencies are featured, and Alfred Marshall's concepts of the advantages of the geographical agglomeration of specialised small firms in industrial districts are reintroduced. The authors extend the analysis of purely economic effects of agglomeration, including social, cultural and institutional foundations of local development. Contemporary case studies are discussed.

Abstract
This volume collects a set of papers representing some of the main contributions of the 'Florence school' to the literature on industrial districts from the 1970s to the beginning of the 2000s. Models of industrial organisation and empirical investigation of industrial tendencies are featured, and Alfred Marshall's concepts of the advantages of the geographical agglomeration of specialised small firms in industrial districts are reintroduced. The authors extend the analysis of purely economic effects of agglomeration, including social, cultural and institutional foundations of local development. Contemporary case studies are discussed.
