- Summary:
- Holding the view that too much debate about local development is driven by theories and economic modeling rather than existing evidence, Perry (management, Massey U., Wellington) reviews a selection of controversial issues. Among them are regional competitiveness and local economic development, regional policy and inward investment, learning regions, enterprise clusters and regional specialization, urban success and the creative class, whether technology incubators are hothouse accelerators or life support shelters, ecological modernization, and making progress.
