With the advent of multinational corporations, the traditional urban service function has 'gone global'. In order to provide services to globalizing corporate clients, the offices of major financial and business service firms across the world have generated networks of work. It is the myriad of flows between office towers in different metropolitan centres that has produced a world city network. Taylor and Derudder's unique and illuminating book provides both an update and a substantial revision of the first edition that was published in 2004. It provides a comprehensive and systematic description and analysis of the world city network as the 'skeleton' upon which contemporary globalization has been built. Through an analysis of the intra-company flows of 175 leading global service firms across 526 cities in 2012, this book assesses cities in terms of their overall network connectivity, the regional configurations they form, and their changing position in the period 2000-12. Results are used to reflect on cities and city/state relations in the context of the global ecological and economic crisis. Written by two of the foremost authorities on the subject, this book provides a much-needed mapping of the connecting relationships between world cities, and will be a valuable resource for students of urban studies, geography, sociology and planning.

Mexico And Mexico City In The World Economy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. To understand contemporary Mexico, it is absolutely necessary to examine its level of development, and its relationship with the rest of the world. The level of development will, most likely, be related to the world system network, although the concepts are not identical. In Understanding Mexico and Mexico City in the World Economy, the authors aim to determine Mexico's level of development, and how Mexico fits into the world system.Through their research, the authors provide outcomes that will develop a more refined world systems approach. The book features cluster analyses of Mexican economic development levels, sector case studies including specific spatial analyses and maps of trends in Mexico, a systematic theoretic framework encompassing levels of the world, national, and local areas, and recent data presented through maps, tables, charts, and statistical summaries. The text will prove to be useful and practical for researchers, academics, and others interested in Mexico and its international linkages.

Global Cities in Third World Countries available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the midst of recent globalization, where networks have steadily become more and more interconnected, and the exchange of information faster than ever, the idea of high art museums as commodified attraction is increasingly prevalent. Mexico City, a global city in a third world country, has traditionally been promoted in relation to Aztecs, the artist Frida Kahlo and the muralist movement. Recently, however, there has been a move to add contemporary art to this mix. Two mega collectors are opening their own private museums. Carlos Slim Helú, the telecommunications magnate and the richest man in the world, inaugurated in March this year a striking torqued aluminum tower to house his old masters and Rodins. Eugenio López Alonso, an heir to the Jumex juice company fortune is designing a new space, next to Slim Helú's, to transplant his contemporary art collection form the grounds of the company's factory. Both museums, built with modern designs and located in the heart of the city will give Mexico City a fresh look. How will these two new museums affect or engage in the political and economic transformations associated with the establishment of a neoliberal government, and reposition Mexico City on the cultural map? The present investigation explores Mexico City and Istanbul (as a case study), two cities mostly known for their anthropological cities and ancient cultures that lately are adopting high art as part of a global cities formula. Mexico City and Istanbul are in the class of global cities without influence and privileges.
