Matthias Kiese introduces clusters of firms and supporting organisations in the same or related industries as a typical feature of urban economies. He provides an overview of the most common top-down and bottom-up methods and identifies their strengths and weaknesses in a comparative perspective. Complementary strengths favour the combination of top-down and bottom-up methods in a mixed-method research design.
