摘要

This paper synthesises two models: Savitch and Kantor's bargaining and the amenity led growth model. Using evidence from Oklahoma City's recent revitalisation, the argument concludes that leadership serves as a pivotal link between the bargaining table and the construction of new amenities to attract productive labour and improve their bargaining position. The proposed unified model reprises the role for leadership to include providing amenities prerequisite for economic development.
