Abstract

Certain cities have competitive advantage and capture the opportunities for growth and development while others continue to negotiate their position in an increasingly competitive global economy. The less competitive cities are struggling to employ effective urban regeneration strategies and property-led business strategies. This paper is concerned with developing an integrated framework for urban competitiveness with linkages to regeneration and business strategies. The methodology employed examines the literature on various regeneration and property-led business strategies being adopted in urban centres to formulate two parallel frameworks for urban regeneration and business. The key outcome of this paper is an integrated evaluation framework for urban competitiveness linked to the regeneration and business strategies.
