Secondary Cities: Exploring Uneven Development in Dynamic Urban Regions of the Global North Hardcover – July 5, 2021 by Mark Pendras , Charles Williams

Description

This book explores cities and intra-regional relational dynamics often overlooked by urban scholars and challenges common representations of urban development ‘success’ and ‘failure’. Gathering leading international scholars, it explores the regional second city concept in urban development theory and practice and advances a research agenda that forefronts uneven urban development concerns. By emphasizing the subordinate status of regional second cities relative to their dominant neighbours, the book raises new questions about urban and regional development across the world. It provides innovative alternative relations and development strategies that reimagine the subordinate status of secondary cities.
