Abstract
Following up the research on territorial capital (TC) and urban transformative capacity (UTC), this paper puts forward a joint framework that recognizes linkages between TC and UTC. As the two research areas increasingly overlap, the overarching aims of this study are to explore how the two research fields might benefit from each other's strengths and develop mutually reinforcing forces to compensate for the existing shortcomings. After presenting the similarities and distinctions between TC and UTC, with particular focus on the notion and subject addressed, domains and key constituents, targets and purposes, as well as assessment techniques enabling empirical validation, a joint framework is proposed. It is concluded that a more powerful approach can be created by combining TC and UTC, which broadens understanding of both territorial capital formation and transformations of cities and regions while allowing to enlarge the field of discussion on existing assessment practices.
期刊介绍:
Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
