Abstract

Individual city and regional authorities in many countries have themselves taken up the issue of “competitiveness” as part of their own economic development agendas: competitiveness has come to be regarded as critical for understanding and promoting local economic performance. Like their national counterparts, regional and city policy-makers have become preoccupied with knowing the relative competitive standing of their local economies compared with others, not just other regions and cities within their own national jurisdiction, but with areas elsewhere across the globe. Devising local strategies to improve the competitiveness of their locality is now regarded as a primary task by many regional and city policy-makers.
