Eine alternative Mobilität ist möglich, in der nicht mehr der motorisierte Individualverkehr (MIV) den Ton angibt, sondern bei der die Nahmobilität dominiert. Wir fragen uns: Wann kommt endlich die Mobilitätswende? Wir wollen nicht länger in einer autogerechten, sondern in einer lebenswerten Stadt leben. Köln kann sich Schritt für Schritt zu einer lebenswerteren Stadt verändern, in der zukünftig die Nahmobilität den Ton angibt. In diesem Konzept möchten wir aufzeigen, wie es gehen kann.
Entrepreneurship in Cities focuses on the neglected role of the home and the residential neighbourhood context for entrepreneurship and businesses within cities. The overall objective of the book is to develop a new interdisciplinary perspective that links entrepreneurship research with neighbourhood and urban studies. A key contribution is to show that entrepreneurship in cities is more than agglomeration economies and high-tech clusters. This is the first book to connect entrepreneurship with neighbourhoods and homes, recognising that business activity in the city is not confined to central business districts, high streets and industrial estates but is also found in residential neighbourhoods. It highlights the importance of home-based businesses for the economy of cities. These often overlooked types of businesses and workers significantly contribute to the ‘buzz’ that makes cities favourable places to live and work.
