  Governing Cities in a Global Era : Urban Innovation, Competition, And Democratic Reform (Hardcover)
  Hambleton, Robin (EDT)
  This book is about the role that ideas, institutions, and actors play in structuring how we govern cities and, more specifically, what projects or paths are taken. Global changes require that we rethink governance and urban policy, and that we do so through the dual lens of theory and practice. This is accomplished by sharing our applied experiences cross-nationally, grounding them in theoretical analysis, and pushing them forward with practical lessons regarding the future of governing cities in a globalizing world.
