The municipal government of Guangzhou consistently embraced a rational planning approach, adapted from contemporary European and American planning models, to guide and regulate city building activities driven by new urban functions of the time. While these early endeavors laid a foundation for Chinese city planning in the modern era, to date very little has been researched on the origin and achievements of these endeavors. This study examines the beginning of modern city planning in Guangzhou, the establishment of its framework, its progressive implementation, and its physical outcome.

The study looks at the case of transyouth, the in-between demographic bridging youth and adulthood in Seoul, one of the most connected, densely populated, and quickly transforming metropolises in the world. To unravel the elusiveness of ‘play’ as a subject and the complexity of urban networks, this study takes a three-tier transdisciplinary approach comprised of an extensive literature review, Shared Visual Ethnography (SVE), and interviews with leading industry representatives who design and develop the playscape for Seoul transyouth. Through these methodological tools, the study responds to the following four research aims: 1. Examine the sociocultural, technological, and architectural context of Seoul 2. Investigate Seoul transyouth’s perception of the self and their technosocial environment 3. Identify the pattern of their playful interaction through which meanings of the self and the city are recreated 4. Develop an analytical framework for enactment of play This thesis argues that the city is a contested space that continuously changes through multiple interactions among its constituents on the seam of control and freedom. At the core of this interactive (re)creation process is play. Play is a phenomenon that is enacted at the centre of three inter-related elements of pressure, possibility, and pleasure, the analytical framework this thesis puts forward as a conceptual apparatus for studying play across disciplines. The thesis concludes by illustrating possible trajectories for pragmatic application of the framework for envisioning and building the creative, sustainable, and seductive city.

Themes unquiet and persistent. I offer a critique of approaches to policy and argue that post-structural theoretical shifts offer new practical perspectives and the potential for imaginative understandings, which remain largely unexplored. I focus on the built space and the emotions in an attempt to alter the perspective from which questions are asked, and to problematise the questioning process itself. Questions of method are integral to this thesis. The story told is that of the barrio of La Cienaga. It is at once a particular story; that of one of the oldest barrios of Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic, and of the individuals who live there. It is also a typical story of a deprived inner city area that can be found the world over. Residents of La Cienaga discuss the public spaces of the barrio, the private spaces of their homes and their links and visions of the wider city which surrounds them. Stones tell of what it feels like to live in such a place, how the built environment affects social relations, the possibility of community, aspirations and a sense of self. In the second half of the thesis I look at the story telling process: the purpose of stories: their ability to reveal and heal. I return to my practical concerns and examine the implications of both my method and the findings uncovered in the first half of the thesis, for the concrete recurring problem of the barrio: waste and absent infrastructure. The result is a solution that neither I, nor the barrio residents, could have imagined at the outset.

In the years after World War II, American cities declined precipitously as residents and businesses relocated to rapidly-expanding suburbs. Governmental and corporate leaders, seeking to arrest this decline, embarked upon an ambitious program of physical renewal of downtowns. The postwar urban crisis was a boon for the urban tourist industry. Finding early renewal efforts ineffective in stemming the tide of deindustrialization and suburbanization, urban leaders subsidized, with billions of dollars in public finances, the construction of an infrastructure of tourism within American downtowns. By the latter decades of the period, tourist development had moved from a relatively minor strategy for urban renewal to a key measure of urban success. This dissertation traces the development of postwar urban tourism in the cities of Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. Each city provides a case study for a different type of urban tourist development: hotels, convention centers, stadiums, and festival marketplaces. Such tourist development fulfilled a multiplicity of desires and needs in the postwar city. First, tourism catered to the growing consumerist ethic of postwar America, in which not only goods but experiences became consumer objects; thus cities were remade into easily consumable entities. Secondly, it offered opportunities for urban revitalization that required little in the way of sacrifice from middle-class Americans, an attribute that became especially attractive after the conservative backlash of the late 1960s. Finally, tourist development allowed city leaders to project an image of urban vitality even while much of their cities remained in dire straits. While much of the scholarship on urban tourism has either celebrated its ability to renew cities or condemned its inauthenticity and delocalizing tendencies, this dissertation argues that tourism's often exploitative nature had little to do with its inherent characteristics but rather lay in the choices of leaders who saw a revitalized downtown as their highest goal, and were often willing to sacrifice the traditional measures of civic improvement to achieve that end.

Today, however, they face many problems with safety, concentrations of poverty, and liveability. Much good is expected of social cohesion to restore the situation in these neighbourhoods. Policymakers and researchers alike are eager to understand how social cohesion in urban neighbourhoods can be improved. Simultaneously with the attention for social cohesion we observe a change in the way that neighbourhoods are managed; now not only the public authorities, but also private partners and the voluntary sector play a part. In the academic literature much has been written about both social cohesion and urban governance, but empirical evidence of the relationship is lacking. The aims of this study were to enhance our insight into the factors that generate social cohesion, to evaluate urban governance practice, and enhance our understanding of the relationship between social cohesion and urban governance. These issues have been studied in the context of post-WWII neighbourhoods in the Netherlands. In line with the expectations, the participation of residents in decision-making processes is found to be an intermediary factor, relating urban governance to social cohesion and vice versa. Policymakers play a crucial part in this relationship.

It is argued that important changes were made in the housing and town planning policy in Stockholm in this period that paved the way for the successful ensuing period. Foremost among these changes was the uniquely developed practice of municipal leaseholding with the help of site leasehold rights (Erbbaurecht). The study is informed by recent developments in Foucauldian social research, which go under the heading ’governmentality’. Developments within urban planning are understood as different solutions to the problem of urban order. To a large extent, urban and housing policies changed during the period from direct interventions into the lives of inhabitants connected to a liberal understanding of housing provision, to the building of a disciplinary city, and the conduct of ’governmental’ power, building on increased activity on behalf of the local state to provide housing and the integration and co-operation of large collectives. Municipal leaseholding was a fundamental means for the implementation of this policy. When the new policies were introduced, they were limited to the outer parts of the city and administered by special administrative bodies. This administrative and spatial separation was largely upheld throughout the period, and represented as the parallel building of a ’social’ outer city, while things in the inner ’mercantile’ city proceeded more or less as before. This separation was founded in a radical difference in land holding policy: while sites in the inner city were privatised and sold at market values, land in the outer city was mostly leasehold land, distributed according to administrative – and thus politically decided – priorities. These differences were also understood and acknowledged by the inhabitants. Thorough studies of the local press and the organisational life of the southern parts of the outer city reveals that the local identity was tightly connected with the representations connected to the different land holding systems. Inhabitants in the south-western parts of the city, which in this period was still largely built on private sites, displayed a spatial understanding built on the contradictions between centre and periphery. The inhabitants living on leaseholding sites, however, showed a clear understanding of their position as members of model communities, tightly connected to the policy of the municipal administration. The organisations on leaseholding sites also displayed a deep co-operation with the administration. As the analyses of election results show, the inhabitants also seemed to have felt a greater degree of integration with the society at large, than people living in other parts of the city. The leaseholding system in Stockholm has persisted until today and has been one of the strongest in the world, although the local neo-liberal politicians are currently disposing it off.

Supervisor Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dennis, Damon Siegfried Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2010 Description An account of the resource This thesis is based on fieldwork undertaken in Ifrane, a migrant city in the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco. The community has always faced what Simon Harrison has called a ‘scarcity’ of identity in suffering social, cultural, linguistic and economic dislocation. However, a close analysis of everyday life has afforded new insights into the creation of relational stability and migrant well-being through little understood, seemingly insignificant, phenomena. It uncovers an unrecognised relationship between identity and numerical objectification in a Muslim cosmology and, consequently, challenges and overthrows existing assumptions of heterogeneous religiosity. The numeric utilisation of seemingly insignificant objects by migrants is instrumental in the creation of relational nexuses so important for well-being in their new home. In this city migrants find happiness at the intersection of the self, thing and number: a reshaping of identity. It is achieved through the migrants’ complex interactions with the physical world, and relies on their ability to numerically strategise and organise objects. Numeric operations make relationality possible and allow knowledge to be shared across linguistic and cultural boundaries. In all cases well-being in this new environment is found not in the extraordinary or the idiosyncrasy, but rather through normality. By amplifying and introspecting the connectivities that emerge from acts of calculation in the everyday, this thesis contributes at once to a burgeoning study of ethno-mathematics and to the study of well-being in anthropology, drawing attention to the relational nature of actions and their foregrounding in fragile social worlds.

Technology may be outpacing urban architectural theory, and large populations (primarily the young generation who are growing up with computers and mobile phones) are altering the identity, use and ultimately the form of cities. What is this changing identity? The present thesis asserts that if the "first generation" of cities was characterized by built forms and spaces, and the "second generation" defined by mobility, then the "third generation" of cities will certainly be "hyperdynamic", that is, technological, dematerialized, unprogrammed, emergent, adaptable and virtual, if they are to serve the needs and behaviors of their inhabitants. A theory of these three generations coexisting, much like archaeological strata, in the form of three conceptual urban layers is presented, along with consideration of the possible relationships between them. A case study set in the city of Ljubljana highlights emerging changes in the perception of the city and focuses specifically on the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship, a unique urban feature set against the background of Ljubljana's history, technologies and ways of thinking about cities. The case study forms a basis for talking about future trends and the potential for an expanded lexicon of urban dynamics. Les villes du 21ème siècle font l’objet de changements spectaculaires, pour certaines d’entre elles ces changements sont en cours, encore dissimulés dans la technologie et suffisamment intégrés dans le contexte actuel de la forme architecturale pour échapper à la compréhension générale. La technologie a dépassé la théorie de l’architecture urbaine, et une population importante (principalement la jeune génération qui a grandi avec les ordinateurs et les téléphones mobiles) est en train de changer l’identité de la ville et, par conséquent, la définition des villes. Que signifie ce changement d’identité ? Cette thèse affirme que la première génération de villes est caractérisée par des formes des constructions et par l’aménagement des espaces, la seconde génération est soumise à la mobilité, et la troisième génération de villes sera certainement hyper dynamique, c’est-à-dire technologique, dématérialisée, non-programmée, émergente, adaptable et virtuelle, pour qu’elle puisse couvrir les besoins et les comportements de ses habitants. Une théorie de la coexistence de ces 3 générations, un peu comme une strate archéologique formée de trois couches urbaines conceptuelles, prend en considération ces relations entre elles. Cette étude dans le cadre de la ville de Ljubljana met en évidence ces changements émergents dans la perception de la ville et souligne spécialement sur "Le chemin de la commémoration et de la camaraderie", une caractéristique urbaine unique dans le contexte de l’histoire de Ljubjana, les technologies et les façons de penser nos villes. L’étude de ce cas constitue une base de discussions sur les futures perspectives et le potentiel d’un lexique élargi de la dynamique urbaine.

A city can have different meanings to different people in different times and different places, and consequently a city can be represented or imagined in many different ways. Currently, in a world of movement and migration, it seems to be increasingly crucial to pay attention to these differing meanings and different perspectives. According to Sandercock (2003b: 1), the contemporary urban condition is defined by difference, otherness, fragmentation, splintering, multiplicity, heterogeneity, diversity and plurality. Healey (2002: 1779) consequently argues that the challenge in the contemporary period is to mould multidimensional conceptions of 'city' that both reflect and interrelate the rich diversity and complexity of contemporary urban life. In line with Massey (2005), this study understands the city as a simultaneity of stories-so-far and accordingly it analyses a multiplicity of urban tales about two medium sized Dutch cities: Tilburg and Almere. In the end, this polyvocal and narrative approach to the city and urban life aims to bring to light the ways in which many different voices can integrate in complex and often contradictory ways to build a previously unavailable image of the city.

The project’s goal was to become a single border-crossing municipality which was to be called Eurode. The main point of research interest was, to determine to what extent the inhabitants of both towns accepted and supported these plans. The reason why we are so interested in researching this is that the integration in border regions and towns is often considered to be a test-case in European integration. Since the social and democratic legitimacy of the European Union is a much discussed topic, the legitimation of the cooperation and even integration in border regions and towns could give an insight into the public support for the European integration. Although much scientific interest has been shown concerning the identity construction of those living on the border, and the extent of cross-border economic interactions, the aspect of how legitimate such cross-border constructs are, has received far less attention. Furthermore, in the border regions it is often asserted that the spirit of cooperation and integration across borders cannot be found in those living in these border regions. However, this has not been translated into quantitative investigations regarding public support for cross-border cooperation. This dissertation aims to give a first onset for this. It serves to mainly document this major project in cross-border-place making and (social) legitimation. The materials have been collected, organised and categorised in order to give a ‘thick description’ of the case Eurode. The story of Eurode will resemble to a great extent a historical reconstruction, for Eurode cannot be understood without considering its historical background. We will first look at an analysis of the measures taken by the local authorities of both towns to construct Eurode and to strengthen public support. After that, we will view a survey which shows the actual support lent by the inhabitants of both towns. This detailed focus, on both the construction and the reconstruction of a border-crossing municipality, adds a new dimension to the current research into borders, and in particular to the research on border regions and towns. Furthermore, the results of this survey do not only give evidence of how socially legitimate Eurode is today, but it also provides a perspective for future prospects.

The case study focuses on the city of Tripoli, the capital of Libya. It is at the same time an old city as well as a modern city, and can be identified as a major world city. Libya has experienced one of the highest rates of urbanisation in the last few decades. Libya’s rate of urbanisation is 88%, putting it higher than that of all other African cities and, indeed, some European cities as well. The research explores the urban structure of the city including the cultural and social system. In addition, the research explores crucial urban theories from Iben Khaldun to Louis Wirth and examines modern patterns as a method of feedback of the study of urbanisation. This study shows special characteristics of urban phenomena and adds, in general, to the literature in the field. During the past number of decades, the pattern of life in Tripoli has been transformed, with particular focus on local culture which has felt the impact of global culture. These changes have brought about new aspects and patterns to life in the city. The study also argues that transformation has occurred in some aspects of life such as food and music. Urban transformation in this study is examined within the context of globalisation. That is, in the context of global urban culture with special emphasis on its impact on local culture. Here, the city is seen as a global site with many advantages. The study is therefore an example of appropriation and implementation of a sort of "global knowledge" in a local, Libyan context. It is concerned with the urban transformation and social change of Tripoli as it undergoes a transition from traditional and modern to a global state. In focusing upon the urbanisation and special structure of Tripoli, the first five chapters of the study review the historical social transformation of Tripoli through urban life, global culture, urbanisation, urban family and urban women. The research addresses the Libyan social structure and includes a history of Tripoli and observations on Libyan structure between traditional and global phenomena in relation to urbanisation. In chapter six, an attempt is made to discuss the characteristics of Tripoli. Large numbers of immigrants have swelled Tripoli’s population resulting in unique aspects of change. Tripoli shares many similarities with other cities of the world, such as a modern lifestyle and a growing prevalence of foreign food, music and dress.

To serve this end, this dissertation presents a novel methodology for investigating land and housing markets. The methodology consists of investigating time-evolving relationships between attributes of the social agents who intervene on a market (e.g. social standing, religious affiliation, gender), rules-institutions systems (formal and informal institutions), and the macro political-economic context (e.g. price of land, demographic growth). The method was applied to a case study that tracked three groups of actors: developers, public agents, and homeowners, over a fifty-year period (1950-2000) in Hayy el Sellom, a neighborhood located in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon. The case study relied on in-depth interviews of developers, public agents, and residents, a structured survey of homeowners, research of public archives (e.g. construction and urban regulations, building permits, lot subdivisions), and time series analysis of aerial photographs. The case study demonstrated that the proposed method can unpack the category of the "informal market" by revealing a web of co-existing formal (market and public institutions) and informal (e.g. social, geographic, political associations) institutions whose interplay determined market characteristics (e.g. openness, flexibility, security) and resulted in unequal opportunities for housing and capital accumulation by residents and developers, respectively. Second, the case study unraveled dialectical actor-institution relationships in which one's ability to intervene in the housing market depended on one's ability to tap existing institutions that sustain exchanges and build new ones. Third, the study documented the heavy involvement of public agencies or agents in the development of informal regulations and the organization of illegal processes of housing production. Fourth, the case study documented the interconnectedness of housing markets segments, showing how so- called informal markets are directly influenced by city-wide parameters (e.g. price of land, political stability, housing demand) and partially rely on formal market institutions such as banks and contracts. Finally, it was found that greater involvement of formal market institutions did not improve market conditions (e.g. transaction security) or opportunities for capital accumulation.

Advisor Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Freeman, Victoria Jane Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2010 Description An account of the resource The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius, ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s. Concurrently, the loyalist Six Nations were often represented as the only Indigenous people with ties to Torontonians, while the specific historical identity of the Mississaugas was erased. The role of both the government and local settlers in crowding the Mississaugas out of their lands on the Credit River was rationalized as a natural process, while Indigenous land claims, historical interpretations, and mnemonic forms were rarely accorded legitimacy by non-Indigenous city residents. After World War II, with new influxes of both Indigenous peoples and multicultural immigrants into the city, colonial narratives of Toronto history were increasingly challenged and replaced by multiple stories or narrative fragments. Indigenous residents created their own representations of Toronto as an Indigenous place with an Indigenous history; emphasizing continuous occupation and spiritual connections between place and ancestors. Today, contention among Indigenous groups over the fairness of the Mississauga land claim, epistemic differences between western and Indigenous conceptions of history, and ongoing settler disavowal of the impact of colonialism have precluded any simple or consensual narrative of Toronto’s past.

The urban phenomena that generated the need to take inner-city neighbourhood transformation as central in the study were the increasingly overwhelming change in the texture of the badly dilapidated historical residential area of Budapest and the fact that the renewal shows fairly varied patterns by neighbourhoods belonging to different districts. Renewal varies by being systematic or random; some goes along with extensive demolitions other projects show sensitivity to and the obvious intention of architectural heritage preservation. Nevertheless, whatever the strategy might be they all share one characteristic, which is the substantial population increase of the better-off. Meanwhile, in the same type of area there are still neighbourhoods devoid of interest for the investors. Besides, in spite of the increasing attention of the local authorities expressed in plans and strategies, the limited local resources, and the ownership structure hinder the halt to dilapidation. While the book deals mainly with the type of neighbourhood dynamism, meaning positive change in the quality of neighbourhoods, it also highlights the causes of stagnation and decline in other areas in the four districts discussed. For the analyses of the processes of neighbourhood regeneration such approach was chosen that focuses on the underlying structures, the relationship of actors in the process as well as the wider context and the historical path dependency of the neighbourhoods concerned, all based on the theoretical foundations of critical realism. The specified theoretical research culminated in identifying the problem field itself and in creating a base-model according to the philosophical principles of realism. The empirical research started only after specifying what phenomena, actors and relationships were to be examined closely to be able to see neighbourhood transformation in its complexity in the study areas and to apply the base model to these specific cases. In the research both the contextual part of the book and the case studies focused on spatial analyses of physical and social aspects of the urban environment and associated the quality of neighbourhoods with urban ecological factors and policy measures in the background of the given patterns as underlying structures. The other focus of attention was on the mechanisms - the local government, private sector and the non-profit sector - with a special focus on the first one having still substantial influence on the processes taking place in Budapest and in its districts. For the documentation of the upgrading provesses in the case study areas thematic maps, photos and models are used. The operation of the underlying structure are supported by personal interviews with members of the local authorities as well as civil and market actors.

The city today exposes a great dynamic mixture of different foreign ideologies with the indigenous culture in its urban morphology: traditional villages, a traditional Southeast Asian trade quarter, a colonial quarter, a socialist 1960s fringe, and the more recently developing new commercial project developments. Although Hanoi experienced a great amount of shifts in ideologies, the city’s morphology, in this sense, exposes some similarities with other post-colonial and post-socialist cities. What is distinct for Hanoi is that the different ideologies are not as clear-cut and isolated in separate segments of the city as can be seen elsewhere. Instead, the different components, elements, and styles, in their original state or as a replica, mix and merge in all the segments of the city. Traditional villages, colonial villas, socialist housing, self-build popular housing, and new commercial housing exist side by side and in extreme cases, merge with one another. Similarly, social practices in Hanoi expose mixtures of rural and urban ways of living, and mixtures of socialist, traditional, and newly ‘global/foreign’ lifestyles entering Vietnam. In housing morphology, these dynamics are exposed in socialist apartments that are transforming into private self build popular houses, of which parts are replaced with new commercial high rises. In addition, the most recent new commercial housing areas mix with existing villages and agriculture and newly built popular housing.

Young, low lying, and sparsely lined with built form, Perth might be described as a thin city. The intent of this research is to entreat an optimistic and inquisitive reading of the city of Perth through the conceptualisation of a set of six narrative threads. Six fictive interpretations of Perth, each denoting qualities of thinness, are cast toward the factual city, inviting both confirmation and opposition to their themes. They are: private city, wide city, even city, city of the immediate future, reserve city and city of form fixation. The process of elucidating and questioning the presence of these narratives allows for thicknesses to emerge from the city region; latencies with which the city can be redressed. The mechanism for directing this interpretive view of the city is the process of mapping. Each narrative thread has been explored through the formulation of a set of maps as a visual text. Through the paired workings of the narratives and the mappings, opportune conditions and operations are uncovered within the thin city, complexities that belie the ubiquity of its surface. Mappings shift in scope from the scale of the region to a site of richness at its core, sampling out entities, structures and performative processes at work in the city's plan, distilling opportune sites that are then explored via the architectural project. At once analytical and synthetic, mappings identify existing points of intrigue and simultaneously invite their extrapolation. With the thin city narratives driving the content of the maps and forming the basis for their projectual exploration, this research seeks to engage with the nascent city and offer to it an armature for its amplification that operates within the city's delirium, its peculiarity, its distinctiveness.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gombay, Christopher Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1997 Description An account of the resource The central argument of this thesis is that while the approach to the study of both politics of stabilization and adjustment and the Third World has added significantly to our understanding of the nature of political systems and political cultures, it remains incomplete because the focus of most of the studies is not on the micro-level, or the level at which ordinary people struggle for survival and economic benefit. As a result, an important element in our understanding of the politics of adjustment remains obscure: the politics of everyday life. I would argue that the failure of urban adjustment in Kampala is a direct result of the vitality of the politics of everyday life and the failure of institutional reform measures adequately to address the logic of this form of politics. The politics of everyday life confronts top-down attempts at institutional reform, undermines them, and incorporates them in a fashion which conforms to its own imperatives. I explore these issues by looking at the case of market vendors in Kampala, Uganda as they struggle to improve the physical and administrative conditions within their market. The canvas upon which these struggles over space and services emerge include increasing urban poverty and insecurity in Kampala, intergovernmental jurisdictional squabbles between the Kampala City Council and the central government, and the World Bank sponsored Uganda First Urban Project. These everyday political struggles show how the urban poor undermine and resist attempts to impose restrictive regulatory frameworks upon those who cannot afford them.

The attempt to provide an appropriate environment for both fostering economic growth and attracting new investment in the face of heightened inter-urban competition has been the target of much new urban governmental activity. Apart from this general goal, these exercises are often presented as an indirect means to alleviate situations of unemployment and social decline. In Glasgow and Bilbao, the search for local solutions has been inspired in the predominant pattern of entrepreneurial discourses which underline the importance of the creation of a not very well defined service-based economy and the reconstruction of the cities' image. Glasgow and Bilbao illustrate the failure of these practices, beyond the limited benefit brought to a few selected locations and a very limited group of people. Despite this neglect, the comparative insight provides evidence on the extent to which common patterns for renewal efforts, notwithstanding political, economic and social differences, are repeatedly used.

Whereas enterprises can strengthen their position through takeovers, mergers, or joint ventures, cities cannot. Cities can only try to make the most of their competitive advantages. A city with international ambitions has to be able to face the challenge of international competition, and therefore must have insight into its international profile. Which local factors make cities important, prominent, trend-setting, leading? For the national level, Michael Porter paved the way with his standard work The Competitive Advantages of Nations (1990), in which he introduced his famous ‘national diamond.’ Surprisingly, though, no such substantial research exists on cities, let alone that a ‘city diamond’ has been developed. To address these issues, the perceptions of ‘citymakers’ – the companies and institutions which contribute to the international profile of a city – were collected during the period 1998–2001. Based on the responses from more than 1300 of these ‘citymakers’ from 80 cities around the world, a ‘city diamond’ has been designed. The data from the study have also been used to rank cities according to the esteem in which they are held in the world: as a whole (integral perception) and also on the basis of ten different functions (functional perception) – Performing Arts (Symphony Music, Opera, Ballet), Academia, Corporate Services, Real Estate & Architecture, Museums, International Organizations, Hospitality (hotels, congresses, tourism), International Trade & Transport, Media, and Multinationals & Finance. Finally, the data have been used to portray the competitive profiles of the 32 most important cities.
