TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence on population change for 310 cities across the whole of Europe to assess how their fortunes have changed over the period from the 1960s through to 2005, revealing considerable diversity of experience, with one in seven cities described as resurgent on a strict definition of decline followed by growth.

TL;DR: Turok et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed some of the main ideas, particularly as they apply to cities and regions, and emphasized the benefits of scale and diversity that flow from concentrations of economic activity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the arguments and evidence for whether rapid urban population growth can be achieved in Africa and Asia, and conclude that the relationship between urbanization and development is a vital policy concern.

TL;DR: The reasons for the pattern of sourcing include issues of technology, quality, responsiveness and price as discussed by the authors, and examples of corporations which stress these attributes are provided. But evidence about the nature of these links suggests that many correspond more closely to a simple dependent model than to a self-sustaining development scenario.

TL;DR: In this paper, an examination is made of five ways in which property could contribute to urban economic regeneration: through the direct employment effects of construction-related activity; by accommodating the expansion of indigenous firms; by attracting inward investment; by revitalizing run-down neighbourhoods; and by initiating area-wide economic restructuring.
