Why do some cities grow economically while others decline? Why
do some show sustained economic performance while others cycle up
and down? In "Keys to the City," Michael Storper, one of the
world's leading economic geographers, looks at why we should
consider economic development issues within a regional context--at
the level of the city-region--and why city economies develop
unequally. Storper identifies four contexts that shape urban
economic development: economic, institutional, innovational and
interactional, and political. The book explores how these contexts
operate and how they interact, leading to developmental success in
some regions and failure in others. Demonstrating that the global
economy is increasingly driven by its major cities, the keys to the
city are the keys to global development. In his conclusion, Storper
specifies eight rules of economic development targeted at
policymakers. "Keys to the City" explains why economists,
sociologists, and political scientists should take geography
seriously.
