Global cities with a largely cosmopolitan environment, such as
Auckland, Berlin, Dubai, London, New York, Shanghai or Singapore,
are successfully developing and attracting entrepreneurs from all
over the world. This book elucidates the policy approaches related
to the formation of the cosmopolitan environment that supports
entrepreneurship in large urban areas. The book's core theme is the
relationship between cosmopolitanism and entrepreneurship, with the
latter viewed as a key driver of economic growth, sustainability
and prosperity. The book argues that successful entrepreneurship
rests on the two pillars of the cosmopolitan environment: diversity
and the creation of business opportunities. In contrast to
globalisation's standardised solutions in policy, commerce, banking
and social issues, cosmopolitanism allows individualised value and
solutions, whereby actors-entrepreneurs, businesses, families,
interest groups, governments, non-governmental organisations and
virtual communities-enjoy diversity as a norm. The book pays
special attention to under-researched topics, such as threats to
sustainability in cosmopolitan cities; why cosmopolitan cities
attract immigrants with a highly independent mindset; the impact of
religious norms on female and male entrepreneurs; varying
experiences of local and expatriate entrepreneurs; and the diff
erences in doing business by female entrepreneurs, stemming from
their nationalities and residence status. The book off ers
conceptual insights into the enablers of entrepreneurship in
cosmopolitan cities and urban governance, complemented by case
studies based on fi eldwork in Dubai, Hamburg, Istanbul, Karachi,
Kyiv, London, Moscow and Tel Aviv. The book will appeal to those
who study or teach cosmopolitanism, globalisation or urban
development concepts, and those professionals who are considering
the possibility of doing business or working as an expatriate in a
cosmopolitan city.
