Mid-sized cities and regions and global competition

Peter Karl Kresl

Chapter 1 in Mid-sized Cities and Regions in Global Competition, 2026, pp 4-34 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Six mid-sized cities in the US give us examples of how this category of city has been able to reconstitute itself as a consequence of a deterioration in its competitive standing among other cities. Some have followed an imagined course of development while others have declared themselves to be a “shrinking city.”
