This book provides new insights on cities and the nature of urban
development, and the role of knowledge management in urban growth.
It considers how knowledge informs policies and supports decision
making, and can assist in addressing the drivers of urban change.
The way that knowledge is produced and used in urban development is
analysed, with examples drawn from a range of European countries.
This book illustrates how the development and implementation of
policies for urban areas can draw on knowledge management, even as
the knowledge economy itself stimulates the evolution of the city
as a place of innovation and creativity. Whilst knowledge grows in
importance, so do urban issues, particularly in economic and
political contexts at both European and national levels. These
essays explore growth in the range of knowledge available in urban
contexts, the ways to generate new knowledge from a wide range of
stakeholders, and how these can make an effective contribution to
decision making processes in urban development. The attractiveness
of cities and surrounding areas to knowledge based forms of
industry and investment and the competitiveness and performance of
cities are a matter of major concern for national governments. In a
sense it has become too important to leave to city politicians, and
it is a topic requiring sustained reflection. This book gives the
reader a detailed understanding of the issues involved and prompts
further reflections.
