Governing circular cities: The case of innovative plot handover process
This article discusses innovative ways of governing cities in the interest of promoting the circular economy. We focus on identifying the role of resources, expertise and commitment of local construction businesses in the pursuit of urban circularity, institutional logics utilized in urban planning processes, stakeholder perspectives on innovative practices and the identification of leverage points in the innovative plot handover process in terms…
Inclusive City: The Theory and Practice of Creating Shared Urban Prosperity
Adoption of comprehensive risk management in local government
In the aftermath of large company failures in the early 2000s, there emerged a new wave of efforts to enhance risk management (RM) and control in enterprises. The normative RM model has been promoted widely to all organisations, including public sector organisations. Using survey data, this article describes and explains the diffusion and adoption of RM innovation in local government in Finland. Our survey results support the argument that if com…
The role of localism in the development of regional structures in post-war Finland
A perceived need for a wider resource base for territorial governance has initiated a new trend for regionalisation throughout the developed world. Local governments are frequently opposed to such a development. This article presents an institutional analysis of how Finland’s tradition of strong localism has affected the forms, processes, and results of regionalisation. We argue that path dependence in the form of localist influence from the mid-…

Next topic is the political economy of urban symbolism followed by discussion of economies of signs and of the cultural landscapes of late modernity. The figures whose theorisations are in focus include Manuel Castells, Scott Lash, John Urry and Arjun Appadurai. This chapter provides not only …
Castells’ network concept and its connections to social, economic and political network analyses
This article discusses the conceptualization of network in Manuel Castells’ theory of network society and its relation to network analysis. Networks assumed a significant role in Castells’ opus magnum, The Information Age trilogy, in the latter half of the 1990s. He became possibly the most prominent figure globally in adopting network terminology in social theory, but at the same time he made hardly any empirical or methodological contribution t…
The Political Economy of City Branding
Globalization affects urban communities in many ways. One of its manifestations is increased intercity competition, which compels cities to increase their attractiveness in terms of capital, entrepreneurship, information, expertise and consumption. This competition takes place in an asymmetric field, with cities trying to find the best possible ways of using their natural and created assets, the latter including a naturally evolving reputation or…
