摘要：
Entrepreneurial strategies to urban development involve a combination of risk-taking, inventiveness, promotion, and profit motivation, mostly associated with the field of economics. This market rational, guided by public-private investments and city branding, could however result in (a) a collection of sanitized city spaces specifically designed for the upper classes with unfavourable activities pushed outward, and (b) a homogenization of different destinations, without sufficient attention for the space-specific characteristics. Specific entrepreneurial strategies and their consequences for socially marginalized groups and destination competitiveness are discussed in the case of the red-light district of Amsterdam.
