<br/><br/>Part 1. The economic context of city and regional development -- Part 2. The institutional context of cities and regions -- Part 3. Social interaction and urban economies -- Part 4. The political context of city and regional development . 
<br/><br/> The book explores how these contexts operate and how they interact, leading to developmental success in some regions and failure in others. Demonstrating that the global economy is increasingly driven by its major cities, the keys to the city are the keys to global development. In his conclusion, Storper specifies eight rules of economic development targeted at policymakers. Keys to the City explains why economists, sociologists, and political scientists should take geography seriously.
