      abstract = {"Some cities seem destined to become major financial  capitals, yet never do - Seville, for instance, was the  centre of Spain's opulent New World Empire, but failed to  become a financial metropolis. Others, like former colonial  backwater Hong Kong, defy the odds by growing into major  trading centres. What are the key factors distinguishing  those cities that become wealthy from those that don't?  Christopher Kennedy illuminates how geography, technology,  and especially the infrastructure of urban economies allow  cities to develop and thrive.},
