Introduction: Taking entertainment seriously ; Political theory of consumption ; Urban amenities: lakes, opera, and juice bars: do they drive development? / Terry Nichols Clark -- Globalizationand the liminal:transgression, identity and the urban primitive / Lauren Langman and Katie Cangemi -- Consumers and cities: Edward L. Glaeser, Jed Kolko and Albert Saiz -- New political culture and local government in England / Anne Bartlett with Terry Nichols Clark and Dennis Merritt -- Technologyand tolerance: the importance of diversity to high-technology growth /Richard Florida and Gary Gates-- Gays and urban development: how are they linked? / Terry Nichols Clark -- Amenities: recent economic studies / Alexei Zelenev -- International mayor / Terry Nichols Clark with Dennis Merritt and Lenka Siroky -- Starbucks, bicycle paths, and urban growth machines: emails among members of urban and community sections of American Sociological Association / compiled by Terry Nichols Clark -- Amenities drive urban growth: a new paradigm and policy linkages / Terry Nichols Clark ... [et al.].

People both live and work in cities. And where they choose to live shifts where and how they work. Amenities enter as enticements to bring new residents or tourists to a city. Amenities have thus become new public concerns for many cities in the US and much of Northern Europe. Oldways of thinking, old paradigms - such as "location, location, location" and "land, labour, capital, and management generate economic development" - are too simple. So is "human capital drives development". To these earlier questions, we add: "how do amenities and related consumption attract talented people, who in turn drive the classic processes which make cities grow?" This new question is critical for policy makers. Urban public officials, business, and nonprofit leaders are using culture, entertainment, and urban amenities to (seek to) enhance their locations - for present and future residents, tourists, conventioneers, and shoppers. This volume explores how consumption and entertainment change cities. But it reverses the "normal" causal process. That is, many chapters analyse how consumption andentertainment drive urban development,not vice versa. It details the impacts of opera, used bookstores, brewpubs, bicycle events, Starbucks' coffee shops, gay residents and otherfactors on changes injobs, population, inventions, and more. It interprets these processes by showing how they add new insights from economics, sociology, political science, public policy, and geography. Considerable evidence is presented about how consumption, amenities, and culture drive urban policy - by encouragingpeople to move to or from different cities and regions. The book also explores how different amenities attract the innovative persons who are catalysts in making the modern economy and high tech hum.
