Secondary Cities
Bristol University Press (Verlag)
978-1-5292-1207-5 (ISBN)
This book explores cities and the intra-regional relational dynamics often overlooked by urban scholars, and it challenges common representations of urban development successes and failures.
Gathering leading international scholars from Europe, Australia and North America, it explores the secondary city concept in urban development theory and practice and advances a research agenda that highlights uneven development concerns.
By emphasising the subordinate status of secondary cities relative to their dominant neighbours the book raises new questions about regional development in the Global North. It considers alternative relations and development strategies that innovatively reimagine the subordinate status of secondary cities and showcase their full potential.
Mark Pendras is an Associate Professor in the School of Urban Studies at the University of Washington Tacoma. Charles Williams is an Associate Professor in political science and labor studies at the University of Washington Tacoma.
