This book provides a conceptual framework for understanding the inclusive city. It clarifies the concept, dimensions and tensions of social and economic inclusion and outlines different forms of exclusion to which inclusion may be an antidote. The authors argue that as inclusion involves a range of inter-group and intra-group tensions, the unifying role of local government is crucial in making inclusion a reality for all, as is also the adoption of an inclusive and collaborative governance style. The book emphasizes the need to shift from citizens’ rights to value creation, thus building a connection with urban economic development. It demonstrates that inclusion is an opportunity to widen the local resource base, create collaborative synergies, and improve conditions for entrepreneurship, which are conducive to the creation of shared urban prosperity. The book presents illustrative cases of inclusive urban prosperity from prominent cities in Europe and North America together with a few advanced cities in different parts of Asia. It will be a valuable resource for researchers, students and practitioners working in all areas of urban studies and sustainability. Ari-Veikko Anttiroiko is Adjunct professor at Tampere University, Finland. His main research areas include local governance, local economic development and public sector innovations. He has edited several internationally distributed books, including The Political Economy of City Branding (2014) and New Urban Management (2015). Martin de Jong is Scientific Director of the Erasmus Initiative for the Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity and Professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
