520			_aA government-commissioned report which examines whether the English regional capitals lag behind their European rivals on all key urban performance indicators and fail to attract international investors. The study defined and measured urban competitiveness in terms of six critical characteristics: economic diversity; skilled workforce; connectivity; strategic capacity to implement long-term development strategies; innovation in firms and organisation; quality of life. Concludes that although the core cities are behind European, there is scope for them to catch up. View at www.odpm.gov.uk.
