The 1980s saw the rise of cities as strategic economic spaces. This was driven by the emergence of intermediate services, such as IT and finance, which tend to be located in cities regardless of whether or not they serve the manufacturing sector. Saskia Sassen describes both the direct result that cities becoming strategic had on built form and how the growth in the informal economy was in fact a response to this shift in late capitalism.
