The study of urban political economy needs no justification, for
cities are the heart (and arguably the soul) of our civilization,
and their political and economic conditions are the linchpins of
its existence. But how should we study urban political economy?
Urban Political Economy deals with different nations - Belgium,
Denmark, France, Norway, the UK. and the USA - and with different
problems - expenditure patterns, service provision, economic
development, fiscal strain, budgetary cuts, and borrowing systems -
but they all agree on two fundamental points about the study of
their subject matter: first, that the urban economy cannot be
understood outside its political context, just as urban politics
cannot be understood without its economic background; and second,
that the local and the national are knitted together so closely and
so tightly that it is necessary to think of them as forming a
single system. Urban Political Economy explores the idea of the
fusion of factors by demonstrating the extent to which local and
national conditions react upon one another to analyze the urban
political economy.
