Correlating the Knowledge-base of Cities with Economic Growth
The competitive advantage of cities in the developed world is increasingly thought to lie in their superior access to the knowledge-base. The generation of new knowledge through investment in research and development leads to new products, services and processes which form the basis of the new economy. Attempts to correlate knowledge creation with economic growth have therefore tended to use R&D measures such as the numbers of research establishm…
Charismatic Urban Leaders and Economic Development: Good Mayors and Bad Mayors in Europe
The paper argues that decisions by strong mayors or council leaders can have a significant impact on their cities' economic fortunes. Good decisions include urban marketing exercises, the attraction of hallmark events and good land-use and infrastructural planning: bad decisions include engaging in political conflict with central government and engaging in illegal activity. Data from 16 European cities approximately arranged in matched national p…

Delinking Urban Economies: The European Experience
Although it is often orgued that the success or failure of an urban economy is best explained by the success or failure of the national economy which encompasses it, increasingly cities are seeking to “delink” themselves from their respective national economies. This reflects increasing globalization, a reduction of the power of national governments, and greater urban and regional autonomy within a “Europe of the regions.” Cities are able to infl…

Competition within the European Urban System
The diminishing importance of national frontiers in western Europe has intensified competition between cities for mobile investment, for the location of public institutions and for hallmark events. This has led to the creation of league tables of cities in which rankings are determined by single or multiple variables. Analyses of changes in rankings focus on whether there has been divergence or convergence amongst European cities. This paper uses…
Reurbanisation—The Policy Implications
The paper examines the phenomenon of counter-urbanisation in western Europe and argues that by the late 1980s there was evidence of reurbanisation in some cities. Changes in public finance, in housing preferences and in employment location were leading to a redensification of cities which is likely to continue through the 1990s. The paper uses detailed data from Glasgow and the west central Scotland conurbation, first to indicate how the massive …
Deindustrialisation and the Reality of the Post-industrial City
The processes of deindustrialisation and disurbanisation, and the emergence of the postindustrial society or city, have been debated within a number of disciplines since 1960. However, much of the debate has been conducted at the general or aggregate level. At the level of the individual city the situation is often considerably more complex and the positive and negative attributes are less easy to compare. In this article we use the example of Gl…

The Inner City Employment Problem in Great Britain, 1952-76: A Shift-Share Approach
Employment data for 1952, 1963, 1968, 1973 and 1976 for the British conurbations are analysed to demonstrate the extent of job loss in the inner city areas and the growth of the outer city areas. Shift-share analysis is used at a 116-sector level of disaggregation to identify the structural and residual components of this employment change. It is clear that the inner cities consistently have a positive structural component so that their poor empl…

Mobile industry and levels of integration in subregional economic structures
Lever W. F. (1975) Mobile industry and levels of integration in subregional economic structures, Reg. Studies 9, 265–278. The paper seeks to assess the impact of interregional industrial movement on the subregions which supply the mobile firms hypothesizing that the impact is most severe where these subregional economies are highly integrated. Using Census of Production data and graph theory an empirical measure of the probable level integration …

Industrial movement, spatial association and functional linkages
Lever W. F. (1972) Industrial movement, spatial association and functional linkage. Reg. Studies 6, 371–384. Much of the Government's distribution of industry policy depends upon the availability of mobile industry which can be diverted from the congested South East and Midlands to the regions of high unemployment. Recent work has suggested that external economies, particularly those associated with access to suppliers of inputs and customers, ma…
