OECD Territorial Reviews: Competitive Cities in the Global Economy

The 2006 OECD publication gives case studies and policy recommendations to help cities, often the drivers of national economies, continue to thrive. The book also provides a strong statistical database on the world’s principal cities. The report studies the 78 largest metro-regions in the OECD, ranging from Tokyo with close to 35 million inhabitants to Auckland with about 1.5 million. An important publication for urban and regional policy-makers, as it makes a strong case for the role of cities as drivers of economic development.
