The nineteen eighties: from the regional to
the urban level
In
the nineteen eighties the number of international firm migration studies
becomes much small compared to the number of studies in the seventies. Mole
1981 and Klaussner and Mole 1983 present their European survey studies and net to this there are journal articles by Bade 1983 and 1981. The latter authors
describe relocation considerations of central city firms. Also Orion and Santayana
1981, 1983 choose the scale of the urban region for their investigations.
They
describe the influence of local land use policy of industrial mobility in the
Turin region. As pen 1999 argues their publication stands out because they pay
not only attention to government influence on firm migration in the context of
regional development policy but also refers to other policy types such as
environmental policy urban renewal policy, local development policy, cafeterias.

Just like regional policy these other policy fields may be expected to result
in firm relocation's.
For
most of these new policies the urban agglomeration is the most relevant playing
field and local and regional governments are much more involved in policy
formulation and its policy consequences than national governments. At the same
time we witness a strong increase of short distance migration while long
distance migration decreased for a number of reasons indicated above the
reveres was true short distance migration.
The underlying causes can be related to the
process of sub- urbanization of firms propelled by space shortage and
increasing land prices in the large cities parking problems and growing
congestion on city roads and beltways. No wonder that the urban firm exodus
swelled and that city governments worried about the ensuing erosion of urban
employment. The politicians problems were even more complex because some of the
government’s own policies especially environmental policy and urban renewal
policy in fact reinforce the pressure on firms to leave urban locations.
In this context it is easily understood that
firm relocation studies from the 1980s onwards concentrate more heavily on
urban agglomerations and less on the balance between central and peripheral
regions in a national context. Furthermore one should expect an increasing
attention for the studies taking in to account government policy, but the number
of scientific publications in this field is relatively scarce in eighties.
But
maybe this observation is obscured by the fact that in practice nowadays many
urban- oriented firm relocation studies are unpublished contract- research
based reports written by consultancy firms.
