The paper starts with a short history of the economics of cities: one city, location of many cities, competition of cities in a single currency region, global competition of cities. The second section deals with the strategies of cities that compete with each other for growth, attractiveness andwelfare of the citizens. The city of Bonn is used as an example. The limitations of competition strategies are described using the example of Trier. Legal structures of Chicago and Tokyo are analysed for comparison.
