Cover Ordinary Cities, Extraordinary Geographies
Ordinary Cities, Extraordinary Geographies
People, Place and Space
Editors: John R. Bryson, Ronald V. Kalafsky, and Vida Vanchan
This insightful book explores smaller towns and cities, places in which the majority of people live, highlighting that these more ordinary places have extraordinary geographies. It focuses on the development of an alternative approach to urban studies and theory that foregrounds smaller cities and towns rather than much larger cities and conurbations.

Cover Towards a Competitive, Sustainable Modern City
Towards a Competitive, Sustainable Modern City
Editor: Peter K. Kresl
This original book examines the experiences cities and urban areas have had with two principal concerns that confront them today: sustainability and competitiveness.

Cover Financialising City Statecraft and Infrastructure
Financialising City Statecraft and Infrastructure
Andy Pike, Peter O’Brien, Tom Strickland, Graham Thrower, and John Tomaney
Financialising City Statecraft and Infrastructure addresses the struggles of national and local states to fund, finance and govern urban infrastructure. It develops fresh thinking on financialisation and city statecraft to explain the socially and spatially uneven mixing of managerial, entrepreneurial and financialised city governance in austerity and limited decentralisation across England. As urban infrastructure fixes for the London global city-region risk undermining national ‘rebalancing’ efforts in the UK, city statecraft in the rest of the country is having uneasily to combine speculation, risk-taking and prospective venturing with co-ordination, planning and regulation.

Cover Cities and Regions in Crisis
Cities and Regions in Crisis
The Political Economy of Sub-National Economic Development
Martin Jones
This book offers a new geographical political economy approach to our understanding of regional and local economic development in Western Europe over the last twenty years. It suggests that governance failure is occurring at a variety of spatial scales and an ‘impedimenta state’ is emerging. This is derived from the state responding to state intervention and economic development that has become irrational, ambivalent and disoriented. The book blends theoretical approaches to crisis and contradiction theory with empirical examples from cities and regions.
