Urban entrepreneurialism was proposed by David Harvey in his study on the governance of late capitalism. It refers to the daily governance of cities adopting corporate logic, allowing urban space to revolve around attracting economic activities, focusing on innovation, entrepreneurship and high value-added industries.
