Cities are the engines of growth for most national economies. As centers of production, innovation, creativity, trade and connectivity, urban areas are taking a leading role in stimulating global economic growth and competitiveness, resulting in higher incomes per capita and higher productivity. However, cities can also be places where some of the most important challenges of the 21st century, such as inequality, unemployment, segregation and poverty, are concentrated and exacerbated.How can cities balance the economic advantages they have and the associated challenges brought by rapid urbanization and economic growth? What is the role of local governments in achieving and ensuring sustainable economic growth and facilitating job creation? Can cities foster economic development?
