- Abstract
Local development and urban competitiveness became in the last decades some of the most used terms in strategic management of local community and regional development policies. In fact, current environmental conditions characterized by the continuous increase of the competition, the limited access to financial and human resources, determine the local communities to intensify their concerns for increasing the attractiveness of the area in order to attract foreign investments, different sources of financing, companies and high-skilled people, all of these with implicit effects on the regional development of the area. This paper aims to present different approaches to the concept of urban competitiveness, how to determine and evaluate the urban competitiveness, the implications of urban competitiveness growth on local development and some particular ways to implement it at a local level.
