Policies for Small and Large Cities
When tailored policies for cities are being developed, it is relevant to consider the role of city size. The spatial distribution of creative and knowledge‐intensive industries tends to be hierarchical; however, that does not mean that smaller cities are relegated from the competition. Smaller cities may benefit from different strategies and policies compared with larger ones. This chapter focuses on the policy implications of city size. The preferences of employees and managers in the creative and knowledge‐intensive industries reveal that the size of the city may play a role. However, this does not always mean that ‘bigger is better’. Both larger and smaller cities and metropolitan areas have their respective competitive advantages (and disadvantages). These advantages should be seriously considered when tailored policies are completed for large and small cities, respectively.
