Paperback. Condition: New. This book examines the influence of local public services on the economics of cities. The relationship between economic development and urbanization is indisputable; less clear, however, are the ways in which cities directly contribute to economic growth and employment creation. Current economic thinki…ng holds that the ability of cities to create wealth depends on ""agglomeration economies;"" that is, the geographic concentration of industries and people which enables economic actors to come together, interact, and become productive. However, this ability to promote productive interaction depends on several factors, one of which is the provision of local public services. The book argues that the quality of local services significantly influences the productivity of a city, and of its business firms. Inferior local services increase the cost of interaction, erode the effects of agglomeration, and diminish wealth-creation potential. This study attempts to assess the costs of inferior local public services to firms. Based on surveys conducted in five cities - Belo Horizonte (Brazil), Montreal (Canada), Puebla (Mexico), San Jose (Costa Rica), and San Salvador (El Salvador) - it examines the complex issues surrounding local service provision, and illustrates how inferior local services affect firms and, in turn, the ability of firms to contribute to wealth.

Paperback. Condition: New. Cities are a locus of human diversity, where people with varying degrees of wealth and status share an association within a particular urban boundary. Despite the common geography, sharp social divisions characterize many cities. High levels of urban violence bear witness to the difficult challenge of…creating socially cohesive and inclusive cities. The devastated inner cities of many large American urban centres exemplify the failure of urban development. With an enlightened democratic approach to policy reform, however, cities can achieve social sustainability. Some cities have been more successful than others in creating environments conducive to the cohabitation of a diverse population. In this collection of original essays, case studies of ten cities (Montreal and Toronto in Canada, Miami and Baltimore in the United States, Geneva and Rotterdam in Europe, Sao Paulo and San Salvador in South America, and Nairobi and Cape Town in South Africa) are presented and analysed in terms of social sustainability. The volume as a whole looks at the policies, institutions, and planning and social processes that can have the effect of integrating diverse groups and cultural practices in a just and equitable fashion. The authors conclude that policies conducive to social sustainability should, among other things, seek to promote fiscal equalization, weave communities within the metropolis into a cohesive whole, and ideally, provide transport systems that ensure equal access to public services and workplaces, all within the framework of an open and democratic local governance structure.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Por qué nacen las ciudades? ¿Cómo influye su tamaño, su forma o su posición en el desarrollo de los territorios que las rodean? ¿Qué relación existe entre la urbanización y el desarrollo económico? ¿Por qué las ciudades de los países en vías de desarrollo son más grandes? ¿Por qué algun…as actividades económicas se concentran en una ciudad determinada o incluso, en un barrio determinado? ¿Pueden proponerse leyes económicas para explicar las opciones de localización de las empresas o de las personas? ¿Pueden alterarse las dinámicas espaciales con políticas económicas? ¿Están las regiones pobres condenadas a serlo permanentemente? . La actividad económica, como cualquier actividad humana, se desarrolla en un tiempo y en un espacio concreto. En este libro tratamos de comprender como el espacio afecta a la economía, a su dinámica y a su estructura. Con ello ayudamos a dar respuesta a preguntas como las arriba planteadas y otras muchas que se van proponiendo a lo largo de los nueve capítulos que componen esta obra. Los autores recurren tanto a las teorías clásicas de la Geografía Económica como a los desarrollos mas actuales ofreciendo al lector/estudiante una panorámica completa del estado de los conocimientos de la Economía Regional y Urbana. El texto esta dirigido a estudiantes de grado de Economía, Empresa o Geografía así como estudiantes de post-grado en Economía Regional y Urbana, Análisis Económico Espacial, Planificación Urbana o similares. Sin embargo es accesible para todo tipo de universitarios o profesionales interesados en comprender las dinámicas espaciales de la Economía. Las teorías presentadas se ilustran con ejemplos reales de diversas economías, principalmente latinoamericanas. El lenguaje usado es claro y accesible, evitando complejos desarrollos matemáticos pero sin renunciar por ello a un análisis riguroso de los temas tratados. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.
