Urban Innovations: City Cluster Development: Triggering Inclusive Economic Growth
Asian Development Bank | September 2008
Abstract
City cluster development (CCD) is an urban-led development approach that enhances the ability of cities to promote economic growth in an extended urban region. The primary methodology of CCD is to assess the competitiveness of the city’s ability to increase the value of its enterprises, and to enhance its ability to nurture the progress of its local economic dynamism for the prosperity of its residents. An extended urban region is defined by spatial spheres of economic influence, not administrative jurisdictions. CCD takes advantage of economies of scale in extended urban regions, thus increasing the intensity of economic activity.
