Global trends such as climate change, digitalisation, enhanced
concepts of democracy and the consequences of the 2008 financial
crisis are changing the playing field of cities across the world.
Urban development objectives are shifting away from being purely
concerned with wealth creation and competitiveness, to increasingly
combining social and environmental dimensions. In this context, how
can cities influence and sustain their competitive position over
time? Which new types of urban strategies are emerging, and which
organising capacities are proving the most important? This book
provides insight into the complex issue of delivering sustainable
competitiveness by analysing a number of innovative urban
development strategies in context. Questions and topics addressed
include: how can new legacies of city events be secured; how can
clean technology industries be nurtured through urban regeneration
initiatives; and how can the impact of urban safety strategies be
enhanced? These and other pivotal questions are explored through
close attention to the enabling factors linking ideas with results,
such as distributed leadership, collaboration, communication and
experimentation. Combining case studies from Europe, Africa, South
America and Southeast Asia, the book provides a truly international
perspective on the potentials and limitations of a new generation
of urban development and competitiveness strategies.
