Economic inequality in U.S. global cities
For urban policymaking, inequality in large U.S. metropolitan areas appears as a principal consequence of a trichotomy of motives over resources allocation, consisting of urban economic development, ecological sustainability and socioeconomic equity. In the case of global cities, a greater inequality appears to result, in part, from the propensity for urban economic-development motives to pursue and/or maintain worldwide centrality, connectivity …
Income inequality and the imprint of globalization on U.S. metropolitan areas
Inequality in metropolitan areas is at least partly framed by a paradoxical triangle of competing constituency motives over resources allocation. Chief among these motives is the penchant for urban economic development, leaving ecological sustainability and socioeconomic equity as “subordinate” considerations. For global cities in particular, understanding inequality in such a context highlights the extraordinary intensity of economic development…
Aligning a Multi-Government Network With Situational Context
The governance of major metropolitan areas is often associated with a “fragmented” and “uncoordinated” multi-government apparatus, frequently sculpted from years of particularistic ad hoc administrative reforms. This image of dysfunctional structure gains high salience when the metropolitan context is accentuated by complexity and fluidity, especially where intense paradoxical forces of economic development and ecological sustainability are prese…
Global Cities Are Coastal Cities Too
World-wide, most global cities are located in coastal zones, but a paradox of sustainability is especially striking for US global cities. This article examines such a paradox, drawn between globalisation-induced development and coastal ecosystems. It focuses on two developmental components found principally in global cities: the agglomeration of foreign waterborne commerce and global business services; and, the accelerated activity and mobility h…
A Multiple-perspectives Construct of the American Global City
The term `global city' bestows an image of an urban place that is contemporary, international, multicultural, `wired', cosmopolitan, polarising and having geographically boundless power. Nevertheless, the literature fails to produce a common identity for setting the global city apart empirically and in analysing policy issues related to it. This paper argues and tests the proposition that the global city is better described and analysed from a ho…
Global Cities, Systemic Power, and Upper-Middle-Class Influence
Perhaps the central feature distinguishing global cities from nonglobal ones is transnational connectedness. But another important consideration in urban globalization is the disproportion-ately high presence of upper middle class (UMC) whose membership includes institutional professionals at the forefront of postmodern awareness and international experience. Symbolized by a lifestyle genre, the UMC is more than a marker of the global city. It ex…
Urban Spatial form and Policy Outcomes in Public Agencies
Bias or disproportional emphasis in an agency’s pattern of policy outcomes always raises questions of accountability and has been the subject of countless studies. For urban agencies, past research has been driven by causal theses having either a socioeconomic or a political perspective. However, a powerful thesis receiving little attention in policy making is the concept of urban spatial form. The author develops hypotheses about spatial form’s …
Behavior of Urban Public Authorities Operating in Competitive Markets
An old administrative adage has reemerged in public organizational studies that views government agencies as corporate-like in behavior and policy making. The new twist in this enterprise thesis is the emphasis placed on competitive market conditions in determining how policy outcomes are patterned to favor some stakeholders over others. Applying regression analysis to a sample of 42 urban transit agencies, the study finds market conditions pose …
Global Shift in Container Traffic and its Implications for Economic Development Along the American Land Bridge
Since the “container revolution” in the 1970s, seaports on the Pacific Coast have been the engines of economic development, regionally and nationally. But circumstances continue to change that threaten the long-term viability of the intermodal land bridge system that emerged from that revolution. These circumstances include railroads not maintaining rail lines critical to transcontinental container traffic and the shift in the locus of global pro…
Upper-middle-class Influence on Developmental Policy Outcomes
Past research on urban economic development has targeted three major lines of inquiry on determinants of policy outcomes. One focuses on the power of political actors engaged in agency processes. Another looks at institutional structure and the third emphasises physical and social 'preconditions' of urban structure. Although heavily researched, none of these approaches has produced conclusive empirical results. In part, this may be due to the res…
Institutionalism
This article inquires about the sufficiency of institutional exchange theory in explaining the impacts of intergovernmental power structure on agency policy making. Based on rational behavior, transactional exchange, and game playing, this so-called new institutionalism points to the degree of autonomy held by an agency in its collaboration with other government jurisdiction as a principal determinant of a patterned bias in agency policy outcomes…
Organizational Performance and Multiple Constituencies
Agency performance represents ongoing results of public organizational processes. Evaluating it has long been a central concern of public administration, in part because it is primary means of judging consistency of agency decisions with policy mandates, and in part because it provides principal way to observe how agencies satisfy diverse public needs in a plural society. In short, organizational performance is a basis for measuring agency accoun…
Analyzing Performance Skewness in Public Agencies
Previous studies of public organizational performance have focused mostly on operating efficiency, without dealing with the complex accountability problems associated with plural public interests. The fact that an agency exhibits multiple and often paradoxical performances has not been of comparable concern. This failure to account for performance in a multiple-constituencies context has led to a narrow view of how well agencies do. To broaden th…
Turbulent Transition and Organizational Chance
Much of the literature on public policy with its institutional and legislative emphases conveys the view that organizational effectiveness is primarily dependent on actors external to the agency. That is, laws prescribe programs and operating procedures; overlapping jurisdictions restrict innovative behavior; and the politics o f fund budgeting encourage complacency and incrementalism. This article proposes an alternative set of propositions expl…
Public Enterprise, Economic Development, and the Impact of Environmental Regulation
Port authorities perceive their ideas as broadly supportive of regional economic development and are strongly associated with chambers of commerce, economic development agencies and growth oriented citizens groups. However, shifts in American foreign trade and the use of new technologies atid environmental regulation have dramatically changed the seaport industry over the last 15 years. As public enterprises, many ports responded to the new compe…
The Demands of Conflicting Change on Public Enterprise
For centuries, seaports and harbors have been central to the economies of modern countries. They have acted as the primary transshipment points in the allocation of goods and services domestically as well as in foreign trade. With new transportation technologies and the growing interdependencies between regional, national, and international economies, port authorities have been experiencing enormous pressures to support economic development value…
Public Control of Land Use
The last 30 years has seen an enormous urban expansion and an increase in the complexity of metropolitan processes. This is visible in a continually greater competition for land and the renewed emphasis on land use planning. Although land allocation problems exist in all areas, this condition is especially acute in the urban periphery where competition includes not only urban industrial and development interests, but pastoral, recreational, and n…

The Second Home Subdivision
Increased leisure time combined with a growing youth-oriented population have provided the stimuli for a mushrooming outdoor recreation market. One evident example has been the commercialized second home subdivision. Over the last decade, much of our rural lands have been transformed into these urban- styled projects. According to developers, the need for such projects resulted from urban sprawl and population pressure on the one hand, and the id…
