Reshaping global economic geography. Truman Packard

Presenting the findings of the World Bank Development Report which he co-authored, Senior Economist Dr Truman Packard looks at the geography of economic development and how spatial factors affect development potential.

"Trying to spread out economic activity can hinder growth and does little to fight poverty. For rapid growth, and inclusive development, governments must promote economic integration which, at its core, is about the mobility of people, products, and ideas," says Dr Packard.
