"Urban competitiveness" will be of great interest to policy makers and practitioners involved in urban regeneration, and to academics interested in the study of the performance of cities.
Reviews / Votes
"Acceptance that urban competitiveness is a key issue for nationa as well as local communities has run well ahead of understanding of what such competitiveness actually involves, both conceptually and empirically. This collection of papers represents a substantial step forward on both counts and deserves a wide readership among policy-makers as well as students."
