DFID is a self-confessed late entrant to the urban discourse. Two major recent proposals give this assertion credence. First is the collective Cities and Infrastructure for Growth (CIG) programme, to strengthen the management of urban and energy sectors and boost investment in infrastructure. Second is the African Cities Research Programme, to produce new knowledge and evidence on African cities as systems. In turn, from both practical and research standpoints, they seek to reduce poverty and enhance national prosperity through the known advantages of urbanisation, while impacting on its negative dimensions. This critique seeks to test the assumptions underscoring both proposals.

The research is focused on branding as a communicative process and aimed at defining the region’s identity role in provision of its tourist attraction. Linguistic analysis of the branding process is concentrated on optimization of language means and urban semiosis quality. City’s identity is viewed as a complex of exterior and other markers, building its complex image and playing an initial role in city’s branding. The aim of territory’ branding is to present the uniqueness of a certain region and its competitiveness. A city is a complicated multilayer communicative formation that creates a special type of discourse around itself – urban discourse. The space of this discourse is determined by such textual phenomena as a text-city, an urban text and a text about a city. The authors outline the role of naming in city branding and consider a great importance of a city’s identity in creating a text content aimed at increasing attraction of a city as a tourist object. City’s identity allows one to understand its uniqueness and mental representation by a representative of its “own” and “foreign” cultures and optimize branding strategies with the aim to fix positive images of a city and attractive image of a global-centred and locally original territory.
