“…Lastly, with deepening globalization, smaller cities have a heightened need to enhance their visibility through image management (Judd, 1995) and niche creation (Markusen & Schrock, 2006). While bigger cities must also manage these factors, evidence suggests that the case for smaller cities may be more nuanced.…”

2Demand-and supply-side perspectives of city branding: A qualitative investigation AbstractCity branding has become an invaluable source of differentiation for cities around the world as competition between places continues to grow. The current study addresses gaps in extant city branding literature by investigating the brand vision model on a second-tier UK city, Leeds, from the perspective of both brand steerers and brand consumers. The qualitative research approach and case study results from brand steerers and consumers reveal that a high degree of buy-in exists among leading brand steerers. Furthermore, findings indicate some significant differences between the steerers and citizens' vision for the city's brand that prevents the two sets of viewpoints from being strongly aligned; although communalities exist between stakeholder groups, the supply side is taking a more strategic direction whereas the demand side is more pragmatic. Managerial and theoretical implications provide practical recommendations for managers as well as broader suggestions for the research area in general.

“…Rural areas have struggled to maintain export-led sectors over the last decade, as manufacturing has moved back to urban areas having access to skilled labor, business services, and product markets (84,96,98,99). The focus of manufacturing in urban areas increased because of the amplified importance of a skilled labor force, supply chain logistics, and scale economies (84,100,101).…”

JOINT TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH PROGRAMThe Joint Transportation Research Program serves as a vehicle for INDOT collaboration with higher education institutions and industry in Indiana to facilitate innovation that results in continuous improvement in the planning, design, construction, operation, management and economic efficiency of the Indiana transportation infrastructure. https://engineering.purdue.edu/JTRP/index_html Published reports of the Joint Transportation Research Program are available at: http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/jtrp/ NOTICEThe contents of this report reflect the views of the authors, who are responsible for the facts and the accuracy of the data presented herein. The contents do not necessarily reflect the official views and policies of the Indiana Department of Transportation or the Federal Highway Administration. The report does not constitute a standard, specification or regulation. AbstractThe role of the REMI Policy Insight+ model in socioeconomic forecasting and economic impact analysis of transportation projects was assessed. The REMI PI+ model is consistent with the state of the practice in forecasting and impact analysis. REMI PI+, like its competitors, is vulnerable to the trends contained in the historical data it uses, especially recent trends. After the most recent periodic update in data, the performance of the REMI PI+ model improved, that is, it produced long-term forecasts that were more credible. Zonal-level population and employment forecasts for direct input to the Indiana Statewide Travel Demand Model (ISTDM) can be achieved by applying disaggregation regression methods. Indiana University's Center for Econometric Model Research (CEMR) model is also a sound forecasting model. Because of the knowledge of in-state economists, the CEMR-IBRC model could provide forecasts of the Indiana economy that reflect characteristics not known to out-of-state forecasters. The researchers also examined economic impact analysis models that are possible alternatives to REMI PI+. Acquiring a new economic impact analysis package does not seem necessary for INDOT, if REMI forecasts can be adjusted to (a) accommodate recent and reasonable expected trends in the Indiana economy, and (b) meet the geographic (TAZ) needs of the ISTDM. MCIBAS-which is currently used by the Indiana Department of Transportation-is a good hybrid system to use in the economic impacts analysis of transportation projects. Indiana University's CEMR is capable of conducting economic impact analyses, with local knowledge of the Indiana economy, at a cost lower than REMI's. However, INDOT would have to decide whether these potential advantages justify changing the present relationship with REMI. In cases where the credibility of data, forecasts, and/or impact analyses needs to be verified, an Because the traffic forecasts produced by the Indiana Statewide Travel Demand Model (ISTDM) are driven by the demographic and socioeconomic inputs to the model, particular attention must be given to obtaining the most accurate demographic an...

“…En esta misma línea otros autores como Markusen & Schrock (2006), que intentan explicar el resurgimiento urbano, explican que aquellas ciudades que han podido hacerlo son las que han logrado desarrollar un conjunto de atributos que las distinguen de otras en competencia. En lo esencial, estos autores proponen que las ciudades no están resurgiendo universalmente, sino que están comprometidas en una lucha para distinguirse entre ellas.…”

RESUMENLa nueva fase de modernización capitalista impuesta en el mundo ha generado una serie de cambios en las jerarquías urbanas heredadas. Hoy, las ciudades se articulan a una serie de fl ujos y circuitos económicos locales, nacionales y globales, formando una Red Mundial de Ciudades (RMC), cuya condición básica de inserción es el nivel de "competitividad urbana". Sin embargo, a pesar de que la competitividad se ha convertido en uno de los objetivos básicos de las políticas públicas urbanas, aún no existe un signifi cado aceptado universalmente, ni tampoco certeza de los factores que la condicionan. Por esto, el propósito de este artícu-lo es analizar y discutir el concepto de competitividad, proponer unos criterios de análisis en el contexto de las ciudades latinoamericanas y evaluar la competitividad de la economía urbana de Santiago de Chile frente a las principales capitales latinoamericanas, de manera de señalar sus potencialidades y restricciones para integrarse a diversos circuitos económicos globales.Palabras clave: Santiago de Chile, competitividad urbana, globalización, ciudades. ABSTRACTThe new phase of capitalist modernization imposed in the world, has generated many changes in inherited urban hierarchies. Today, cities are linked to local, national and global economic fl ows forming a global network of cities, whose basic condition is the degree of integration and level of "urban competitiveness". However, despite the fact that the competitiveness has become one of the basic objectives of urban public policies, there is still no universally accepted meaning, nor certainty of the factors that condition it. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the concept of competitiveness, to propose criteria for its analysis in the context of Latin American cities and assess the competitiveness of Santiago's urban economy compared with major Latin American capital cities, in order to determine its abilities and constraints to integrate different global economic networks.
