Rezensionen

"Making Competitive Cities is therefore a stimulating read, persuasive and provocative in its lines of argument, and presenting an important challenge to urban political praxis the world over." (Journal of Economic Geography, 19 August 2011)

"The strength of Making Competitive Cities is its highly structured, data-driven research on thirteen diverse and widely scattered cities, which facilitates comparative study and the construction of useful generalizations. The informative individual chapters follow parallel structures and are all well prepared." (Association of American Geographers, 14 March 2011)

"This collection of essays utilizes comparative case studies to illustrate the challenges cities face from a shifting global economy and the very different ways cities can change. The essays offer insights into the theoretical and practical understanding of the environments required to develop competitive "creative knowledge" cities, cities that are successful, exciting, and enjoyable places to live."
