Abstract
The contribution of Roberto Camagni to urban economics is impressive and really original. In her introduction to this book, Roberta Capello underlines his “constant endeavor to highlight the active role of space in economic phenomena”. I want to express a complementary line of argument from a geographer’s perspective.

The original version is in Italian: “In questi approcci (New Economic Geography) manca l’interpretazione più interessante dello spazio come risorsa aggiuntiva e fattore produttivo autonomo dello sviluppo” (Capello, 2005, p. 147).
