Sinopsis

Buku ini adalah respons terhadap sebuah pertanyaan fundamental: bagaimana sebuah kota dapat mengoptimalkan identitas, citra, dan daya saingnya dalam lanskap global tanpa mengabaikan fondasi geografis yang membentuknya? Melalui eksplorasi interdisipliner, buku ini menyajikan argumen bahwa city branding yang kuat tidak bisa hanya dibangun di atas citra semu, melainkan harus berakar pada realitas geografis yang autentik—baik itu bentang alam, sejarah, budaya, maupun dinamika sosialnya. Buku ini menjembatani dua perspektif yang selama ini terpisah, menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman yang holistik terhadap sebuah kota hanya dapat dicapai melalui perpaduan sinergis antara analisis geografis yang mendalam dan strategi branding yang terencana.

Dalam era di mana setiap kota berlomba menarik investasi, talenta, dan wisatawan, pemahaman terhadap city branding menjadi sebuah urgensi. Buku ini akan membawa pembaca dalam sebuah perjalanan sistematis, mulai dari landasan teoritis, dimensi geografis yang membentuk karakter kota, hingga strategi praktis dan implementasi di lapangan. Dengan studi kasus inspiratif dari berbagai belahan dunia, buku ini menunjukkan bagaimana branding yang efektif memiliki kemampuan transformatif untuk memengaruhi cara sebuah ruang dipersepsikan, menciptakan ikatan emosional, dan pada akhirnya, membangun kota yang tidak hanya kompetitif di mata dunia, tetapi juga bermakna dan membanggakan bagi warganya.
