Chapter 1 in Housing Finance Systems, 2013, pp 1-6 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Cities have historically served as centers of religion, politics, commerce, education and economic growth. They are the locations where agglomerations of activities facilitate the unleashing of energies of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Cities offer the hope of education and learning, employment, social relationships and stimulating leisure activities.1 Dense social and business networks and close interactions lead to unforeseen opportunities that transform individual lives and the future of start-ups.
