| Résumé anglais |
In Portugal the appearance of new industrial districts around Oporto and along the road linking it to Lisbon coincided with the economic downturn of 1974 and the April Revolution. The author's analysis is based on the two southern districts of Agueda (44000 inhabitants), specialising in metal products, and Marinha Grande (32200 inhabitants), orientated towards the production of moulds for the plastics industry. The major characteristics of these two areas are the domination of SMEs, the local origin of capital, the role played by subcontracting, the growth of exports and the increasing interrelationships between urban and rural areas. Despite the weak development of the local economic environment, the strength of inter-industrial linkages ensures that these two districts feature the country's highest rates of industrial growth.
