Published in 1997. The environment of cities has become
increasingly competitive. Tradition location factors, that once
tied economic activities firmly to particular areas have become
less important. Increasingly the ability of a city to anticipate,
respond to and cope with internal and external changes is getting
attention. Organizing capacity of cities, or of metropolitan
regions is becoming indispensible for sustainable economic and
social development. The authors have carried out investigations
into eight European cities to increase the insight into the
practice of organizing capacity. The analysis of the development
and implementation of 15 revitalization projects in these cities
shows that organizing capacity calls for a new style of
entrepreneurial urban management with public and private
networking, leadership, long term strategies and organizing
political and public support as key concepts.
First published in 1998, this collection of essays compares the
implementation of urban policies in 15 different countries across
the European Union, with most articles' contributors hailing from
their subject nation. The contributors include experts in geography
and spatial, town, transport and urban planning, and their
contributions reflect fundamental changes in the economy,
technology, demography and politics of European towns and cities.
They ask four main questions: what the urban development pattern
is, what administrative and financial relations between national
authorities and cities exist, which issues the national authorities
consider to be prominent and how this impacts on the national urban
planning policies. Through the provision of national perspectives,
they ask what can be learned through the comparison of how each
region has tailored its perspective and strategy.

Reflecting on two decades of 'competitiveness-oriented' urban
policies in Europe, this book investigates the current challenges
cities face to sustain their economic position and how this can be
balanced with social progress and environmental improvements.
Complementing previous surveys on local and urban development and
competitiveness-based strategies, this volume provides longer term
views on the evolution of such policies at the city level, from the
personal perspective of city officials in eight European cities.
More concretely, it looks at how the urban dimension in EU policies
have evolved over time, the kinds of urban policy supported by the
EU over the last two decades and how cities have been involved with
this process. The book investigates the portfolios of
competitiveness-oriented policies which have been developed by
European cities and how they see the link between urban/spatial
development policies and sustainable competitiveness. Finally the
book fleshes out a number of challenges and initiatives taken by
the eight European cities and their governments in the face of
current challenges in order to pave the way towards more
competitive and sustainable urban economies.
