- W2185202486 abstract "High rates of urban population growth in Mexico and other tropical (i.e., ‘developing’) nations create large demands for building materials and construction labor. Using a case study, this article analyzes the development of the building material industry in the Xalapa-Perote region of central Veracruz, Mexico. First, it examines the dominant types of materials used and where these are extracted and/or produced. Drawing on traditional location theory, it then explores why clustering occurred among one of the most popular building material producers, concrete block manufacturers. In the final section, the case study demonstrates that the industry’s clustering created a level of competition that not only resulted in the production of poorer quality blocks, but may eventually lessen the job creating capacity of the industry as a whole. This has implications for rural communities, who view access to this local source of employment as its greatest benefit. The research and its findings also have implications for development and industrial geography research in tropical regions, where the combination of traditional location theory and newer locational approaches can be useful for explaining location behavior." @default.
