- Summary:
- "Star cities." These cities are characterized by their abundance of jobs, high average salary and housing prices. What is the impetus behind the success of these cities? How do they differ from less successful ones? In the last 50 years, the global economy shifted from traditional manufacturing to knowledge, ideas, and innovation. It was the cities that succeeded in structurally transforming themselves that were reborn as star cities. Moretti traces the origins of these star cities by examining how human capital, universities, and innovation clusters reshaped urban economies and created sharply diverging trajectories among cities.
