Competition or complement? : The relation between towns and rural industrialisation in Sweden 1820-96

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article studies the relation between rural industry and urban service functions in Mälardalen and the Southeast of Sweden 1820-90. The conclusion is that the general dynamic influence of towns highlighted in many British studies cannot be found in Sweden. Despite an overall increase in trade, financial services and information during the nineteenth century, Swedish towns did not in general serve as stimulating relays for rural industry. Instead, industries close to smaller towns choose to market and finance their goods via larger and more distant towns. First in the 1890s an actual effect of access to urban services became evident.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using a spatial statistical analysis we study the relation between rural industrial employment and distance to towns and access to communications in nineteenth century Sweden. Our results show that rural parishes with access to communicationshad a higher proportion of rural industrial workers than parishes without. In a region with few towns, the south-east of Sweden, parishes close to large towns had a higher proportion of industrial employees than distant parishes in1850, while no significant correlation was observed in 1890. In a region with arelatively dense urban system, Mälardalen, only in 1890 did parishes close to large towns show a higher proportion of rural industrial workers than did more distant parishes. However, the mean positive effect was negligible beyond 10 km. Thus, in the second half of the nineteenth century the immediate urban hinterland was industrialising prior to large scale urbanisation and urban industrialisation.
