This book explores an under-researched area, the impacts of globalization on cities and national urban hierarchies, especially but not solely in developing countries. Most of the globalization-urban research has concentrated on the "global cities" (e.g. New York, London, Paris, Tokyo) that influence what happens in the rest of the world. In contrast, this research looks at the cities at the receiving end of the forces of globalization. The general finding is that large cities, on balance, benefit from globalization, although in some cases at the expense of widening spatial inequities Analysis economie economics bedrijfswetenschap management science geografie geography geschiedenis history ruimtelijke ordening physical planning regionale planning regional planning wetenschap science Management studies, Business Administration, Organizational Science (General) Economics (General) Management, bedrijfskunde, organisatiekunde (algemeen) Economie (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Print version record In Springer e-books Subject City planning -- Economic aspects -- Congresses Community development, Urban -- Economic aspects -- Congresses Urban economics -- Congresses Globalization -- Congresses SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Sociology -- Urban.
