Opis

Plenty has been written on the competitiveness of megacities, capital cities and regional hubs. Cities in developing countries have not yet received the same attention – this book fills that gap. An international team of academics have compiled a comprehensive study of the competitiveness of cities in the developing world.

Recenzje
