Published in 1997. The environment of cities has become
increasingly competitive. Tradition location factors, that once
tied economic activities firmly to particular areas have become
less important. Increasingly the ability of a city to anticipate,
respond to and cope with internal and external changes is getting
attention. Organizing capacity of cities, or of metropolitan
regions is becoming indispensible for sustainable economic and
social development. The authors have carried out investigations
into eight European cities to increase the insight into the
practice of organizing capacity. The analysis of the development
and implementation of 15 revitalization projects in these cities
shows that organizing capacity calls for a new style of
entrepreneurial urban management with public and private
networking, leadership, long term strategies and organizing
political and public support as key concepts.
