Cities as Engines of Sustainable Competitiveness: European Urban Policy in Practice

Autor Leo Van Den Berg, Jan van der Meer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 noi 2016
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.

Recenzii

'This fashionable topic is given the serious treatment it deserves in this tour d’horizon of sustainability in Europe since the 1950s ending with a view to the future. Included are analyses of the treaties and initiatives of the European Union and of the policies of eight European cities. The discussion, which is always intelligent and insightful, makes this a must-read.' Peter Karl Kresl, Bucknell University, USA ’An in-depth examination of how eight European cities have addressed the challenge of urban economic growth over the last two decades. A critical variable running through all the chapters is the sustainability of that growth. Avoiding boom and bust cycles is particularly critical for cities given their devastating consequences for that constrained and quite material setting that is a city. The authors move to ground level and give us detailed descriptions of what worked.’ Saskia Sassen, Columbia University, USA, and author of Cities in a World Economy
