Reviews

'City Branding Theory and Cases offers a fascinating glimpse into the multidisciplinary world of branding theory and practice applied to urban environments. This book sets a major benchmark in the development of branding as a field of knowledge and will inform urban management research agendas and policy making worldwide in this new millennium.' - Dr Andres Coca-Stefaniak, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Town & City Management 'This is an important book which gives a tremendous wealth of well-researched insights into the practice of city branding. By drawing upon a range of contributors from diverse theoretical backgrounds, it provides a holistic view and makes a significant contribution to the emerging field of city branding. This book is set to become a must-have for anyone involved in place branding.' - Dr Teemu Moilanen, place branding specialist and author of How to Brand Nations, Cities and Destinations 'In a global world, cities are increasingly seeking differentiation through brand strategies. This book not only offers an original approach to city brand theory, but also provides illustrative examples through a showcase of cities across the world as a means to better understand this novel form of branding.' - Dr Edgar Centeno, Monterrey Institute of Technology Mexico; Place Branding and Public Diplomacy Regional Editor for the Americas and the Caribbean
