Answer:
Cities provide markets and also provide services such as banking insurance,transport, etc. to the industry. Many industries tend to come together to make use of the advantages offered by the urban centers known as agglomeration economics.

Answer:
Agglomeration economies are the benefi ts that come when fi rms and people
locate near one another together in cities and industrial clusters. These ben-
efi ts all ultimately come from transport costs savings: the only real difference
between a nearby fi rm and one across the continent is that it is easier to con-
nect with a neighbor. Of course, transportation costs must be interpreted
broadly, and they include the difficulties in exchanging goods, people, and
ideas. The connection between agglomeration economies and transport
costs would seem to suggest that agglomerations should become less impor-
tant, as transportation and communication costs have fallen. Yet, a cen-
tral paradox of our time is that in cities, industrial agglomerations remain
remarkably vital, despite ever easier movement of goods and knowledge
across space.
Declining transport costs have facilitated trade between China, India, and
the rest of the world, but within those countries, development has centered
in urban areas. Across the world, urbanization continues to increase, and the
United Nations reports that by the end of 2008, one- half of the world will
live in cities.1
Indeed, megacities have become the gateways between those
developing countries and the developed world. Within the richer nations of
the West, many cities, like New York and London, have experienced remark-
able comebacks since the dire days of the 1970s. Wages, population, and
especially housing prices in many dense centers have experienced robust
growth. Indices of industrial agglomeration show only a slight decrease
in concentration over the last thirty years (Dumais, Ellison, and Glaeser
