Abstract

The expression ‘industrial’ or ‘manufacturing district’ was widely used in the first part of the nineteenth century when some areas, such as Lancashire, had clearly become the seat of specialized industrial activities.1 However, it is generally acknowledged that only in Marshall’s writings did the term cease to be a ‘descriptive device’ (Sforzi in Becattini 2000b: 21) and, though shyly and unsystematically, began to acquire its standing as a socio-economic concept. Marshall’s analytical idea of localized external economies provided the kernel around which district studies came to be organized (Chapman 1904) and have recently been renewed (Becattini 1987b; 2000a; 2000b).
