Résumé
The article endeavours to provide an approach to the industrial dynamics of mediumsized Spanish cities. In addition to containing a survey of the conventional economic theories on localised industrial growth, the explanation stresses internal keys specific to each city, such as the possible existence of production systems that can activate virtuous circles of innovation. Evolution and sector structure within the Spanish urban system are therefore analysed, on the basis of business and employment figures from Social Security (2000-2006), exploring the spatial association of both aspects with diverse indicators of economic and business innovation.
