‘Place matters! This red thread through this textbook written by two recognized scholars calls for active care and smart governance for cities and regions. This fine opus offers practical and pedagogical guidelines for professionals and students in urban and regional planning. Both the local and the global arena of competitiveness and of endogenous and external forces are systematically and comprehensively mapped out. This book is a great source of new insights in place-based policy strategies.’

‘This book is highly recommended in understanding what is happening locally and globally in planning and economic development. It will be a hugely helpful source of information and insight for those going into – or already working in – careers in economic development, urban planning, transport planning, spatial data analysis and applied economic analysis and indeed the wider world of public policy. Clear, well written, great coverage and with many interesting examples – a must read.’
