Description

This book presents the first set of studies of the new forms in inner-city competition in Europe stimulated by the creation of the new single European market. The studies undertaken by an international team of scholars from France, Italy, The Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK provide comparative analyses of the competitive activities of local agencies and their relevance to businesses' locational decision making and processes of economic change at the establishment level. This is done through systematic studies both of policy and of a substantial sample of establishments in selected leading metropolitan regions - London and the South East, Stockholm, The Randstad, Milan and Zurich.
