Much recent research in Urban Studies has concentrated on the
notion of the 'global city' but discussion has also covered a
larger set of mega cities, with populations in excess of 10
million. This analysis has begged the question of the optimal size
for a city - is larger always better? Smaller Cities explores the
advantages and disadvantages of different sized cities, trying to
determine their place in the global economy and hierarchy. How can
smaller cities gain or retain their competitiveness in a world of
large cities? In a globalized world, the nation has perhaps been
diminished as an economic actor, with fiscal shortcomings and
political gridlock leaving cities more or less on their own in the
task of enhancing their competitiveness and improving the economic
lives of their residents. This book argues that smaller cities of
varying population can be important actors in competitiveness and
aims to bring attention to an area often overlooked by researchers.
In short, are Pittsburgh, San Diego and Austin less competitive
than London and Mumbai? This volume will be of interest to
students, researchers, and city professionals who work in urban
economy and urban geography.
