At the crossroads of urban planning, economics, and governance, Cities, Regions and Public Policy presents a rigorous and far-reaching examination of the forces that shape metropolitan life and regional development in the modern world. Edited by Gordon C. Cameron and Lowdon Wingo and published under the auspices of the University of Glasgow and Resources for the Future Inc. of Washington, D.C., this scholarly anthology assembles leading thinkers to confront the pressing challenges of urban growth, resource allocation, and the spatial dimensions of public decision-making. The collection argues that cities and regions cannot be understood in isolation from the political and economic frameworks that govern them, weaving together perspectives from urban economics, geography, and policy analysis into a coherent and authoritative whole. Cameron and Wingo's editorial vision ensures each contribution builds upon the last, creating a cumulative portrait of a world grappling with rapid urbanisation and the urgent need for coordinated regional strategy. For students, planners, and policymakers alike, this volume remains an essential — and provocative — reference point in the ongoing debate over how best to govern the places where people live.
