  • City-Dyad Analyses of China’s Integration into the World City Network

    Open AccessPeter Taylor, Peter F Taylor et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2014Cited by: 16References: 21

    The business connections between Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai and other major world cities are investigated using the interlocking network model based upon the location strategies of advanced producer service firms. This approach emphasises non-hierarchical relations between cities. A key new finding is that city-dyad analysis enhances the prominence of these China cities compared with simple ranking by total global network connectivity. This …

  • China urban competitiveness in industrialization: Based on the panel data of 25 cities in China from 1990 to 2009

    Open AccessPengfei Ni, Peter Karl Kresl et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2014Cited by: 1References: 26

    There is a consensus in China that industrialization, urbanization, globalization and information technology will enhance China’s urban competitiveness. We have developed a methodology for the analysis of urban competitiveness that we have applied to China’s 25 principal cities during three periods from 1990 through 2009. Our model uses data for 12 variables, to which we apply appropriate statistical techniques. We are able to examine the competi…

  • Advanced Producer Service Firms as Strategic Networks, Global Cities as Strategic Places

    Open AccessPaul J Taylor, Peter J Taylor et al.ARTICLEEconomic Geography2014Cited by: 32References: 39

    Sassen's identification of global cities as "strategic places" is explored through world city network analysis. This involves searching out advanced producer service (APS) firms that constitute "strategic networks," from whose activities strategic places can be defined. Twenty-five out of 175 APS firms are found to be strategic, and from their office networks, 45 cities out of 526 are designated as strategic places. A measure of "strategicness" o…

  • New regional geographies of the world as practised by leading advanced producer service firms in 2010

    Open AccessPaul J Taylor, Peter J Taylor et al.ARTICLETransactions of the Institute of…2012Cited by: 47References: 26

    This paper reports a new type of world regionalisation based upon the location strategies of leading advanced producer service firms. To generate these ‘global practice’ regions, a principal components analysis of the office networks of 175 service firms across 138 cities is used to identify 10 common location strategies. These are interpreted as fuzzy (overlapping) and porous regional formations each consisting of two parts: a home‐region and a …

  • World City Network Integration in the Eurasian Realm

    David Bassens, Ben Derudder et al.ARTICLEEurasian Geography and Economics2010Cited by: 4References: 9

    A team of authors from the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) research network explores the main empirical features of the global economic integration of Eurasia through an analysis of the (shifting) position of that macroregion's key cities. More specifically, they examine the gateway roles played by key cities in four major subregions—China, the former Eastern Bloc (FEB, i.e., Central and Eastern Europe), former Soviet Union (FSU), and India…

  • Pathways of Change: Shifting Connectivities in the World City Network, 2000—08

    Open AccessBen Derudder, Paul J Taylor et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2010Cited by: 48References: 34

    This is an empirical paper that measures and interprets changes in intercity relations at the global scale in the period 2000—08. It draws on the network model devised by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) research group to measure global connectivities for 132 cities across the world in 2000 and 2008. The measurements for both years are adjusted so that a coherent set of services/cities is used. A range of statistical techniques is used t…
