'An insightful fresh take on city governance that blends academic understanding with 'real life' experience; and a timely warning of what might be lost in a 'place-less' world.'----Graham Sansom, UTS Centre for Local Government, Australia. 'This book persuasively argues that place-based leadership can shape more inclusive, democratic, and sustainable cities. Drawing on detailed Innovation Stories from around the globe, Hambleton's work invites lesson-drawing from both practitioners and scholars.'---- Professor Susan Clarke, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA.
