Produktbeschreibung

This book provides insight into the changing nature of competitiveness of cities by analysing a number of innovative urban development strategies. Given the impact of climate change, the financial crisis and digitalization, questions arise such as how to secure new legacies of city events, nurture cleantech industries, and enhance the impact of urban safety strategies. These and other questions are addressed, paying attention to the enablers linking ideas with results, such as distributed leadership, collaboration and experimentation. The book unravels the potentials and limitations of a new generation of competitiveness strategies, based on case studies from cities around the world.
