Your Ad Here, on a Fire Truck? Broke Cities Sell Naming Rights
What is significant about this article is that it actually points
towards those 20-30 super-metropolises which are already in existence
and will alone will be the value-adding and prosperity centres of
tomorrow's world economy. These and the regions immediately round
them will be the only productive entities that economists will
measure in any meaningful way, not the countries in which they happen
to be. And of the remainder of the towns and cities -- large, medium
or small -- they will continue to deteriorate, unless they have
something very special about them by way of a good income (e.g.
academe, tourism).
