Description and Table of Contents
Description
Modern city governance has changed from traditional "public service" models to business-oriented, market driven and profit-oriented structures. This text offers an assessment of the "entrepreneurial city" - its strengths, weaknesses, problems and consequences - assessing how far "post-Fordist" city government is truly entrepreneurial and whether this is the best way to run urban areas. The book uses perspectives from geography, planning, sociology and central studies, and also uses examples from Britain, Europe and America.
