Description

Second-rank cities have emerged as a compelling subject in contemporary academic research, revealing surprising resilience and growth patterns compared to major metropolitan centres. This Routledge publication examines urban economic performance across 139 European cities since 1996, demonstrating that whilst large cities with over 1.5 million inhabitants typically lead during periods of rapid national expansion, second-rank cities consistently outperform during economic slowdowns. The analysis reveals that during recent economic downturns, second-rank European cities have recorded significantly less negative annual GDP growth rates than capital cities, highlighting their importance as economic stabilisers and alternative growth engines. This book offers scholars, urban planners, and policy makers valuable insights into the structural dynamics driving secondary urban centres and their potential to sustain economic development when primary cities falter.

Key Features

Analyses economic data from 139 European cities spanning from 1996 to the present, providing comprehensive empirical foundations for understanding urban growth patterns.

Demonstrates how second-rank cities outperform capital cities during periods of economic slowdown and contraction.

Focuses on cities with over 1.5 million inhabitants to contextualise the comparative advantages of secondary urban centres.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in economics, urban studies, and international development research.

Addresses the structural dynamics underpinning second-rank city growth, offering frameworks for predicting future urban economic performance.
