Produktbeschreibung

Cities house the majority of the world's population and are the dynamic centres of 21st century life, at the heart of economic, social and environmental change. They are still beset by difficult problems but often demonstrate resilience in the face of regional and national economic decline. This book provides insights in how cities can respond positively to these challenges, in particular, analysing how Barcelona, Turin, Munich and Seoul have been transformed in the last 20 years. The book highlights the importance of aligned and multi-level governance, the need for strategic public investments and the role of the private sector in guiding complex processes of urban recovery in an increasingly uncertain age.
