Rethinking Human Capital, Creativity and Urban Growth (2008, background): “…because they have dry, sunny climates and sprawling suburbs, urban growth has nonetheless rebounded in other parts of the country where what Glaeser and Gottlieb (2006) call ‘consumer cities’ offer amenities such as diversified entertainment opportunities, cultural facilities or high…”
The Economic Performance of European Cities and City Regions: Myths and Realities (2013, background): “Cities dominate many of the indices of knowledge generation (McCann & Acs, 2011) and as well as being the primary centres for skillsdriven economic growth, cities are also increasingly seen as places for consumption (Glaeser et al., 2001), whereby high human capital in-migration to cities also takes”

Urban Digital Twins for Smart Cities and Citizens: The Case Study of Herrenberg, Germany (2020, background): “…matter ranges from the interrelationship between the education of the urban population, local amenities and attractiveness for educated citizens [11,12], and emphasizing the importance of the creative class [13] up to theories describing cities or projects that use information and communication…”

What is Different About Urbanization in Rich and Poor Countries? Cities in Brazil, China, India and the United States (2017, unknown): “These results differ slightly from Glaeser and Mare (2001), who found no relationship between real wages and area population across American metropolitan areas, and Glaeser and Gottlieb (2006) who found that a real wage premium existed in 1970 but not in 2000.”
Current trends in Smart City initiatives: some stylised facts (2014, unknown): “Large and dense cities ease the flow of knowledge and ideas by putting a greater number of people in contact, by facilitating social interactions (Glaeser and Gottlieb, 2006), and by generating ideas and innovation.”
