Studying the factors which enable small businesses to survive and thrive, they highlight the success of a Canadian concept which has spread worldwide: the Business Improvement Area (BIA). BIAs allow small-scale entrepreneurs to pool their resources with like-minded businesses, becoming sources of urban rejuvenation, magnets for human talent, and incubators for local innovation in cities around the globe. Small Business and the City also analyses the policies necessary to support this urban vitality, describing how cities can encourage and support locally owned independent businesses. An inspiring account of the dynamism of urban life, Small Business and the City introduces a new "main street agenda" for the twenty-first century city. 606 $aSmall business$zCanada 606 $aCentral business districts$zCanada 606 $aCities and towns$zCanada$xGrowth 606 $aUrban renewal$zCanada 606 $aCommunity development, Urban$zCanada 607 $aCanada$2fast 615 0$aSmall business 615 0$aCentral business districts 615 0$aCities and towns$xGrowth. 615 0$aUrban renewal 615 0$aCommunity development, Urban 676 $a658.02/20971 700 $aGomez$b Rafael, $0281792 702 $aIsakov$b Andre, 702 $aSemansky$b Matthew, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827394403321 996 $aSmall Business and the City$94043500 997 $aUNINA
