Old-style approaches are being supplanted, and this volume is for policy makers, urban planners, architects and designers who must come to terms with new realities and create new visions for cities of the 21st century. Editors Musterd (urban studies, U. of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and Kovács (geography, Hungarian Academy of Sciences) are the authors of several of the essays--two that are introductory, a third that concludes with context-sensitive urban policies for creative-knowledge cities, and a couple more on places and place branding, and on personal networks. Contributors describe experiences and strategies in 13 city-regions across Europe: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Birmingham, Budapest, Dublin, Helsinki, Leipzig, Milan, Munich, Poznan, Riga, Sofia, and Toulouse.
