Inhalt: pt. I. Chinese mega-cities in the making : policies and governance -- pt. II. City branding and positioning : practices, principles and professions -- pt. III. Positioning cities : competition, authenticity and agency

Inhalt: 'Berg and Björner have succeeded in putting together a thought-provoking volume that sheds light on the theory and practice of city branding and reveals the mechanics of city positioning. The focus on China is inciting but the implications extend well beyond Chinese mega-cities to all cities everywhere. The book stands on the crossroad where East and West meet, helping the reader learn from both; and the lessons for city branding are important, timely and rewarding.'--Dr Mihalis Kavaratzis, University of Leicester, UK. 'This is fruitful cross-fertilisation between the perspective of business studies on brand making and the perspective of urban studies on place promotion. The studies are firmly grounded on Chinese mega-cities, yet relevant cases in the more developed world are critically reflected to illuminate the path to new practices of city marketing and governance in this emerging economy.

Inhalt: These fascinating stories remind us of the policy mobility in this globalizing world--this is a book that will attract a wide audience across disciplines.'--Fulong Wu, University College London, UK. This book offers an overview and a theoretical conceptualization of the policies, practices and positioning strategies involved in branding Chinese mega-cities. This interdisciplinary book details the economic, cultural and social background of the development of Chinese mega-cities, as well as presenting the mechanisms of governance and urban growth strategies. Therein, the main discussion centres on the contemporary practice of city branding and development in China in relation to the rest of the world. This includes the way stakeholders and actors are engaged in city branding; the 'societal forces' that impact the city branding process; the way cities compete internationally; and how mega-cities build brands to strategically position themselves globally.

Inhalt: Stefan Berg war Teil der Leistungselite: dynamisch, männlich, erfolgreich. Als žSpiegelŽ-Autor immer ganz vorne mit dabei, gehörte er zur Speerspitze des Journalismus. Doch dann kam der Schock: žMorbus ParkinsonŽ. Parkinson, das klang für ihn nach Altenheim und Rollator. Zunächst lächelt er noch über die Krankheit, bis sie ihn im Alltag einholt. An der Kasse im Supermarkt, beim Zubinden der Schuhe, mitten im Gespräch. Hinzu kommt die Angst vor der Verschlechterung seiner Bewegungen und den schrägen Blicken auf der Straße. In žZitterpartieŽ erzählt Stefan Berg eine Geschichte von einem Mann, dessen Leben durch die Krankheit durcheinander gerät, und von einer Frau, die ihm dabei begegnet. Langsam kommen sie sich näher, bis sie feststellen, dass ihre Leben sich erstaunlich ähneln. Stefan Berg hat ein mutiges, zartes, ein kämpferisches Buch geschrieben. Er erzählt darin vom neuen Leben mit der unheilbaren Krankheit Parkinson, von den Blicken der anderen und vom ungebrochenem Lebenswillen zweier Menschen, die sich nicht unterkriegen lassen.
