Leading the inclusive city

Place-based innovation for a bounded planet

By: Hambleton, Robin

Cities are often seen as helpless victims in a global flow of events and many view growing inequality in cities as inevitable.

This international and comparative book, written by an experienced author, shows how inspirational civic leaders are making a major difference in cities across the world. The analysis provides practical lessons for local leaders and a significant contribution to thinking on public service innovation for anyone who wants to change urban society for the better.
