| Abstract: |
| Under the background of globalization and marketization, modern cities around the world
are facing multiple challenges such as economic stagnation, urban decline, and urban diseases.
The transformational urban development and sustainable urban development as a critical approach
to address the challenges adopted by governments. Especially, China’s urban development is in a
key transition period after the rapid urbanization, and face many problems, such as the risk of local
government debt, weak economic growth momentum, and lagging social wellbeing. The exploration
of guiding theory and development model is the critical topic of urban development in contemporary
China. The entrepreneurial city theory provides an insightful theoretical framework for global urban
development. Entrepreneurial City is a novel theory and development model originated in the urban
development experience of developed countries. The entrepreneurial city theory emphasizes the
active role of the government and the operation of the city as a market subject. The competitiveness
of the city can be promoted and urban development can be achieved through a variety of marketing
measures includes the cooperation between the government and entrepreneurs, the leading of big
projects and events, and urban marketing. The entrepreneurial city theory has a good explanatory
power and guidance effect, and has an important impact on the urban development of many western
countries and regions. However, current studies in Chinese journals have paid little attention to the
entrepreneurial city theory.
To address this research gap, this study conducts a systematical literature review on
international research progress on entrepreneurial city theory. The research design and process of this
article are as follows. First, this study collected relevant papers on web of sciences through keywords
search. Second, this study systematically elaborates the theoretical system of entrepreneurial city
theory from theoretical background, multiple subjects, theoretical characteristics, and theoretical
objectives. Third, this study demonstrates the development strategies of entrepreneurial cities from
the perspectives of urban economy, politics, and culture. Fourth, this study summarizes the criticism
and reflection of the entrepreneurial theory, including the duality of the leading role of government,
the complexity of pluralism governance, and the exclusive consensus. At last, it further discusses and
draws conclusions based on the demands and characteristics of urban development in China.
The results and implications of this study are as follows. First of all, the entrepreneurial city
theory is a dynamic and constantly improving theory, which has reference and guidance value
for urban development in China. Second, the entrepreneurial city theory is an integrated theory,
and different disciplinary perspectives have variegated emphases on the entrepreneurial city.
However, no matter what kind of theories or perspectives, the key point lies in a series of changes
in background, subject, characteristics, and goals of the entrepreneurial city theory. Third, the
entrepreneurial city theory not only emphasizes the leading role of the government, but also focuses
on the cooperative governance between the government, enterprises, and the public, so as to jointly
promote urban development. Forth, the two theoretical sources of entrepreneurial city theory are
managerialism and entrepreneurship. Fifth, the development strategy proposed by the entrepreneurial
city theory is closely related to the economic field, including adventure, innovation, promotion,
and profit incentive. In addition, a growing body of literature points out that the driving forces of
entrepreneurial city are often rooted in culture. Sixth, the entrepreneurial city development strategies
include place marketing, multi-level governance cooperative network, policy innovation, policy entrepreneurship, education triple helix, and creative industry cluster. Seventh, the entrepreneurial city theory also has some shortcomings and criticisms,
such as the excessive intervention risk of the government in the economy and the simple and one-sided treatment of the complex urban system. At last, the
entrepreneurial city theory originates from western practical experience and has the characteristics of Western centrism. The application in China needs to
be closely tailored with Chinese characteristics and national conditions.
The contributions of this study are manifold. First of all, systematic literature review in this study is helpful for Chinese scholars and planners to
have a thorough understanding of the research progress of international entrepreneurial city theory. Secondly, the research trend and application scenarios
of entrepreneurial city theory in China are put forward. Finally, this study is helpful to summarize China’s urban development experience based on
entrepreneurial city theory, so as to better carry out academic dialogue with planning community in developed countries. |
