What is Cities in Competition : Productive and Sustainable Cities for the 21St Century about?
"Among the issues explored in this volume are: the technological, economic, social, political, regulatory and environmental forces operating to change our cities and the relationships between them; the impact of technology change, including information and communication technologies, fast transport networks, the emergence of global networks, office automation, and flexible specialisation and re-engineering of production processes; the globalisation of markets increasing competition among cities to supply markets with goods, services, skills and space; the formation of multinational trading blocs and regional alliances diminishing the significance of national barriers and increasing the importance of cities; environmental sustainability as an emerging constraint on urban activities and their locations; and the emergence at global level of the largest and most productive cities as world centres and global network nodes."--BOOK JACKET
