本文回顾了过去两个世纪空间经济学的发展历程。重点是我认为是空间经济学最基本的理论，即一般区位理论的演变。本文首先回顾了图宁（1826）的观点，最后回顾了保罗·克鲁格曼在20世纪90年代初提出的新经济地理学。研究表明，一般区位理论的研究成功地揭示了实际空间经济的许多重要特征。
This paper presents a review of the evolution of spatial economics over the past two centuries. The focus is on the evolution of what I consider to be the most fundamental theory of spatial economics, i.e., general location theory. The paper starts with a review of Thunen (1826), and ends with a review of the New Economic Geography initiated by Paul Krugman in the early 1990s. It is shown that the study of general location theory has been successful at shedding light on many important features of actual spatial economies.
