Everywhere in the Western world we can see the rise of cities calling themselves 'innovative cities'. In this paper we look at these cities from a governance perspective. Making use of insights from urban economics, we understand innovative cities as competitive urban areas that combine concentration, diversity, instability and especially a positive image. Case studies of three innovative hot spots - Austin (Texas), Oresund (Denmark/Sweden) and Manchester (UK) - suggest that local governments cannot plan urban innovativeness from scratch. We conclude, however, that policy-makers can increase the chance that innovation in cities emerges by giving chance a helping hand and by branding the city in the outside world.
