Canada's capital - Ottawa - is earning a reputation as a global technology centre that offers a dynamic mix of economic, cultural, educational and recreational opportunities.

The Political Economy of Capital Cities

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
Capital cities that are not the dominant economic centers of their nations – so-called ‘secondary capital cities’ (SCCs) – tend to be overlooked in the fields of economic geography and political science. Yet, capital cities play an important role in shaping the political, economic, social and cultural identity of a nation. As the seat of power and decision-making, capital cities represent a nation’s identity not only through their symbolic architecture but also through their economies and through the ways in which they position themselves in national urban networks. The Political Economy of Capital Cities aims to address this gap by presenting the dynamics that influence policy and economic development in four in-depth case studies examining the SCCs of Bern, Ottawa, The Hague and Washington, D.C. In contrast to traditional accounts of capital cities, this book conceptualizes the modern national capital as an innovation-driven economy influenced by national, local and regional actors. Nationally, overarching trends in the direction of outsourcing and tertiarization of the public-sector influence the fate of capital cities. Regional policymakers in all four of the highlighted cities leverage the presence of national government agencies and stimulate the economy by way of various locational policy strategies. While accounting for their secondary status, this book illustrates how capital-city actors such as firms, national, regional and local governments, policymakers and planning practitioners are keenly aware of the unique status of their city. The conclusion provides practical recommendations for policymakers in SCCs and highlights ways in which they can help to promote economic development.

Book Description
The overall goal of this study is to develop technology and market forecasts for four industries perceived to be key growth sectors in the National Capital Region: software development, telecommunications, environment, and life sciences. Two main information sources were used to provide technology forecasts: a review of the most recent literature and a series of key informant interviews conducted with local experts and company personnel in each of the four sectors. Issues addressed in the interviews included anticipated trends in technology, how technological developments will affect products produced, anticipated growth and decline in various product categories, anticipated changes in customer demand and behaviour, major markets and their trends, industry characteristics, and implications of technology and market trends for human resource requirements and for the Region's industries. For each of the four sectors studied, the report reviews the industry in the Region and its broader context, presents the forecasts, and discusses market trends and other issues addressed in the interviews.

It details the ownership of major contemporary development corporations, analyzes the massive land banks these corporations controlled around 21 Canadian cities, dissects the profits made from turning farm land into house lots, describes the successes and failures of public land bankings in five locations, and offers case studies of the land market in Ottawa, Toronto, Kitchener, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver.
