520 _a"Cities are increasingly seen as the drivers of national competitiveness and of economic and social development. This paper examines the core elements that make Irish cities competitive and highlights actions that can improve their performance and ultimately enhance our national competitiveness. With the rise in globalisation, cities across the world are becoming less concerned with national rankings of competitiveness and are focussing instead on improving their positions in a global league table of cities. Cities play an increasingly crucial role in the development of national competitiveness in modern knowledge-based economies. As people become more mobile and firms more selective about where they locate, competitive cities have emerged as magnets for talent and investment. " -- National Competitive Council Website.
