The City and Quality of Life, by Peter Karl Kresl, Northampton, MA, Edward Elgar, 2021, 136 pp., £73.00 (hardback), ISBN: 9781800880108

In some respects, the title of The City and Quality of Life is a little misleading. This is not so much a book about quality of life, per se, and its relationship to cities. Rather, in the spirit of Richard Florida and Charles Landry, it is primarily about ways in which a particular quality of life might promote a city’s economic competitiveness and growth in the contemporary era.
