In the wake of de-industrialization and globalization, cities are emerging as the major players in the world market. The rising neo-liberalism that emphasizes on de-regulation, privatization, and free market mechanism, has caused ever more intensive inter-city competition. To struggle for growth in this place war, most places have adopted more pro-active growth strategy-from traditional managerialism to new entrepreneurialism. However, considering the different features and purposes between the public sector and the private sector, and the difficulties of rural areas to compete with urban areas in the economic arena, applying urban entrepreneurialism in rural areas without appropriate planning system may worsen the economic condition in rural areas and cause more spatial disparity problems. This paper therefore suggests that the future city and country planning should be based on inter-city cooperation. Also, it should focus more on regional integration, urban-rural solidarity, and regional financial planning so as to balance urban-rural development. |
