Overview
Competitive Citites is an assessment of the way in which 'partnership', a word much used by politicians, has helped to shape the economic futures of four cities on both sides of the Atlantic - Atlanta, Toronto, Birmingham and Rotterdam.Using Atlanta, Toronto, Birmingham, and Rotterdam as examples, Duffy highlights the contributions of government and the private sector to urban development. He provides a thorough account of ways in which cities can position themselves in the global economy, assessed in the context of land use policy, economic diversification, provision of social services and organization of government.
