This book explores cities and intra-regional relational dynamics to challenge common representations of urban development 'success' and 'failure'. It provides innovative alternative relations and development strategies that reimagine the subordinate status of secondary cities.

This book explores cities and intra-regional relational dynamics often overlooked by urban scholars and challenges common representations of urban development successes and failures. Gathering leading international scholars from Europe, Australia and North America, it explores the secondary city concept in urban development theory and practice and advances a research agenda that forefronts uneven development concerns. By emphasising the subordinate states of secondary cities relative to their dominant neighbours the book raises new questions about and regional development in the Global North. It considers alternative relations and development strategies that innovatively reimagine the subordinate status of secondary cities and showcase their full potential.
