dc.description.abstractThe industrial agglomeration growth and spatial concentration have characterized the majority of the capitals in the world; Baghdad is one of them. There are many factors driving the agglomeration growth and spatial concentration. This research attempts to determine the relationship between the industrial agglomeration growth and the main indicators and the impact of growth on increasing spatial concentration and urban development in Baghdad. The data were collected from the Iraqi Planning Ministry for the period 2000-2009. The data include seven industrial categories classified and adapted by the Planning Ministry. Four main theories relevant to industrial localization: least cost, market area analysis, profit maximization and least cost for consumer were critiqued. Each theory neglected some location factors and focused on other factors. The theoreticians considered only the focused factors and classified them as the most important in industrial localization. In fact, all the localization factors in the four theories are important in industrial localization. This means there is no comprehensive theory for industrial localization. This underlines the need for empirical studies for each agglomeration case in its area, without relying on similar situations in other countries to assess the agglomeration national situation.en_US
