'This collection of essays provides a rich assortment of methods
used to investigate the complex economic, social, environmental,
demographic and political systems in cities throughout the world.
It gives researchers, lecturers and students a useful taste of the
different ways of studying these phenomena in diverse urban
settings.' - Ivan Turok, University of Glasgow, UKIn this timely
Handbook, more than 17 renowned contributors from Asia, the
Americas and Europe provide chapters that deal with some of the
most intriguing and important aspects of research methodologies on
cities and urban economies. The Handbook comprises five parts:
methodology, continental distinctions, positioning cities, planning
for the future, and urban structures. The 'methodologies' section
includes interviews, empirical and theoretical approaches whilst
'continental distinctions' offers contributions on China, North
America, Europe, Latin America and South Africa. 'Positioning'
treats cities in the international context and relates them to
economic and administrative spaces whilst 'planning' includes
general strategic economic planning, as well as the experience of
individual cities. Finally, the 'structures' section refers to
contextual and situational aspects of urban development. Providing
a comprehensive study of urban development and competitiveness,
this Handbook will strongly appeal to students wishing to gain a
deeper understanding of research methods in urban economics, urban
studies and planning. Contributors: J.A. Annema, D. Arribas-Bel, A.
