Chapter 5 in New Urban Management: Attracting Value Flows to Branded Hubs, 2015, pp 49-83 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, an economic flow analysis is built to concretise the picture of a city as an economic dissipative structure with in and out flows of consumption and production. Discussion is divided into three themes according to Attractors-Flows-Dynamics scheme: attraction factors, economic flows and dynamics of specific flows. As the types of flows are numerous and each have a dynamic of its own, this section discusses only selected types of flows as representative examples of the variety of economic flow dynamics. They are grouped into two broad categories, flows of business and people. Such flow analysis can be used by urban governments in managing their economic processes and directing development efforts to actions that maximise their benefits in the increasingly fluid economic environment.
