This study explores spatial patterns and mechanisms of industrial growth in Salt Lake County, Utah, which vary with sectoral divisions and scales in the context of urban sprawl. We find that besides the center growth, producer services prefer newly developed areas, and manufacturing has a suburbanizing growth pattern. The spatial regressions indicate neighborhood effects among mechanisms: At the block group level, producer services are more sensitive to community characteristics than manufacturing. At the neighborhood level, whereas producer services are still profoundly affected by community characteristics such as population density and higher education rates, manufacturing only responds to agglomeration effects. The model sets further uncover the variety of mechanisms among industry sectors. These results illustrate different location preferences of industry sectors and challenge the traditional view regarding producer services as an entire group. Highlighting the preference of firms to newly developed areas, our research discloses the growth pattern in Salt Lake County and illuminates the effects of sprawl development, such as low population density and car-based development, in the firm suburbanization process. It also reveals that growth patterns and mechanisms might vary with industry sectors and due to neighborhood effects. Thus, these effects should be carefully considered in research and policies.

城市扩张背景下的企业郊区化：邻里效应和部门差异

本研究探讨了犹他州盐湖县工业增长的空间模式和机制，在城市扩张的背景下，它们因部门划分和规模而异。我们发现，除中心增长外，生产性服务业更偏爱新开发区，制造业呈现郊区化增长模式。空间回归表明机制之间的邻里效应：在街区组层面，生产性服务业对社区特征比制造业更敏感。在街区层面，生产性服务业仍受人口密度和高等教育率等社区特征的深刻影响，而制造业只对集聚效应做出反应。该模型进一步揭示了行业部门之间机制的多样性。这些结果说明了行业部门的不同位置偏好，并挑战了将生产者服务视为一个整体的传统观点。我们的研究突出了企业对新开发地区的偏好，揭示了盐湖县的增长模式，并阐明了蔓延发展的影响，例如低人口密度和以汽车为基础的发展，在企业郊区化过程中。它还揭示了增长模式和机制可能因行业部门和邻里效应而异。因此，在研究和政策中应仔细考虑这些影响。我们的研究揭示了盐湖县的增长模式，并阐明了扩张发展的影响，例如低人口密度和以汽车为基础的发展，在公司郊区化过程中。它还揭示了增长模式和机制可能因行业部门和邻里效应而异。因此，在研究和政策中应仔细考虑这些影响。我们的研究揭示了盐湖县的增长模式，并阐明了扩张发展的影响，例如低人口密度和以汽车为基础的发展，在公司郊区化过程中。它还揭示了增长模式和机制可能因行业部门和邻里效应而异。因此，在研究和政策中应仔细考虑这些影响。
