'Most scholarly research on cities is focused on the great metropolitan areas of the world system. This book takes a refreshingly different approach by concentrating on small cities and what makes them attractive to large numbers of people. In doing so, the book reveals that these cities are marked by enormous diversity and often display surprisingly robust forms of economic, social and cultural life.' - Allen J. Scott, Research Professor, UCLA, USA
