Abstract
AbstractThis article reviews urban entrepreneurship literature under the light of three different and key definitions of entrepreneurship: internal innovation, the search for opportunities, and adaptation and learning processes. The article's goal is twofold: first, to critically dissect the evolution of assumptions on enterprise creation and the city's economy and, second, to offer a synthesis of the main intersections between entrepreneurship and the urban economy found in the urban economic geography literature. To this end, the article covers the following topics: agglomeration economies, urban entrepreneurial governance, speculative entrepreneurship and financialization, and smart and creative cities. Throughout these various topics, the article offers an account on the different entrepreneurial actors that each perspective considers and also the different positions on what accounts for entrepreneurship and how it materializes within the urban context.
