For centuries, the city has been a place for a variety of economic and social
relations, the center of educational and scientific activities, as well as a central
placeofhealthcareandculturalinstitutions.Thequalityofurbanlifeandtechnical
infrastructureare consideredto be crucial to attracting and retaining a skilled and
creative labor force as well as innovative and successful firms. The increasing
concentration of people and their economic activities in urban areas results in
the proximity advantage and magnetic effects. On the other hand, it also leads to
negativesideeffectsforecology,housing,andmobility.
In recent years, such effects were mainly investigated on the example of
megacitiesinemergingeconomies,whileEuropeancitiesdidnotreceiveadequate
attention in the literature. Moreover, the development of urban centers is often
examined in isolation, although cities compete with each other for talents, labor,
and firms on a global level. Currently, suitable models for a better assessment
of the megatrends on our cities are lacking. Nevertheless, we are able to build
on pioneering concepts from urban dynamics and competition as well as from
managementtheory.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Europe can proudly look back
on a rich tradition of cities, but it also faces a great challenge of rediscovering
opportunities of transformation and utilizing them to the renaissance of the city.
