A key component of pro-growth local economic development strategies, adopted by UK city governments and central government agencies has been investment in, and promotion of, high-profile prestige property developments and civic boosterism activities. This paper provides a review of the local economic development responses of three UK local authorities (Birmingham, Sheffield and Manchester) to economic restructuring and the intensification of inter-city competition. Through an examination of the three case studies, the paper highlights: the debate concerning the validity of pro-growth, local economic development policies; the rationales behind the adoption of such policies; the financing and implementation of pro-growth strategies; economic impacts; and the distributional consequences of pro-growth strategies focused on prestige developments. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Urban Studies (Routledge) is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
