Polycentricity and the Multiplexity of Urban Networks
Empirical studies on polycentric urban regions (PURs) tend to analyse their spatial organization by examining only one type of functional linkage between cities. However, it has generally been accepted that urban networks are multiplex phenomena and that spatial interactions between cities can take many different forms, for example, commuting, shopping trips, and inter-firm trade. The spatial organization of each of these functional linkages is n…
Revealed competition for greenfield investments between European regions
In the modern economy, cities are assumed to be in fierce competition over attracting foreign investments. Despite the rich theoretical discourse on these ‘wars', it remains unclear which territories are competing with each other over which types of investments. Combining insights from international economics, international business, and urban geography, we develop an indicator to measure revealed competition between territories for investments b…

The Financial Centres of Shanghai and Hong Kong: Competition or Complementarity
The contemporary rise of China in the new geo-economy is increasingly pressurising the spatial distribution of financial activity in mainland China and Hong Kong. With the reemergence of Shanghai, many people foresee the future demise of Hong Kong as the most important financial centre for the Chinese mainland. This paper shows that this conviction seems rather premature. From an examination of the regional distribution pattern of the mainland-Ch…

Hong Kong's Industrial Structure and Growth of Advanced Business Services
As in most advanced economies, in Hong Kong the services sector has become the most important economic activity. Since the Second World War Hong Kong has restructured itself twice: first from an entrepot harbour to a full‐fledged industrial economy, and second from an industrial economy to a service economy. The emphasis in this article is on this second change in the Hong Kong economy, notably on the advanced business services and its developmen…

Spatial Effects Ofinternationalisation of the Spanish Automobile Industry
The authors investigate the spatial evolution of automobile production in Spain in the post‐war period, in relation to a typology of changing regional specialization. The article describes how successive rounds of investments have transformed the traditional pattern of specialization into a configuration determined by the production and network strategies of foreign investors. The spatial outcome of this process may be attributed, to some extent,…

Dutch Textile Industry in a Global Economy
VAN GEENHUIZEN M. and VAN DER KNAAP B. (1994) Dutch textile industry in a global economy, Reg. Studies 28, 695–711. Spatial-sectoral studies have often viewed the Dutch textile industry as a homogeneous sector in the last stages of the product life cycle. Accordingly, these studies pay no attention to possible variation to the simple product life cycle model. Our paper explores such variation in the past decades, partially by considering a zonal …
