- The objective of the article is to empirically test the hypothesis that the heterogeneity of an urban population influences the creation and the development of the businesses and economic activities (‘organisational diversity') of a city. More specifically, the heterogeneity of a population is measured in terms of religious pluralism, while organisational heterogeneity concerns the different economic activities, both manufacturing and services, present in a city. The influence of religion on economic demand is based on the ‘new paradigm' (Christiano et al., 2002), according to which individuals who belong to different religious groups have different values with regard to education, social ambition and attitude to work. As a consequence, they tend to choose different professions and prefer different economic activities. The empirical analysis, which is conducted on the town of Zwolle in northern Holland in the period 1851-1914, tests the hypothesis and finds a real and significant impact of religious pluralism on the economic structure of the town.

We examine the economic structure of Australian local government areas in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia using economic base theory and location quotients. Whereas the economic base approach is long established, in this paper we extend the three-staged geospatial visualisation method of Blackwell et al. (2017) to two additional state jurisdictions. Focusing on the economic structure of rangeland local government areas, we find that these vary significantly, implying that no single generic development policy is likely to be effective, but rather these need to be crafted individually. We demonstrate that geospatial visualisations of employment location quotients can identify local economic vulnerability as well as opportunity.

This special issue is concerned with environmental Kuznets curves (EKC) - the hypothesis that there is an ‘inverted-U’ relationship between various indicators of environmental degradation and levels of per capita income. Explanations as to why environmental degradation should first increase then decline with income have focused on a number of underlying relationships, including:the effects of structural economic change on the use of the environment for resource inputs and to assimilate waste;the link between the demand for environmental quality and income;types of environmental degradation and ecological processes.
