About the product
Pacific Asia is the fastest growing region in the world and its very large cities - world cities - have been playing a critical part in spearheading economic growth and social and cultural transformation. This book focuses on the functional characteristics and linkage effect of Pacific Asia's world cities against the background of global economic restructuring since the 1980s. These cities are examined as individual entities, in their regional setting and in the context of subregional cooperative development environments. This volume's rich mosaic of data, analyzes and conclusions provide a comprehensive appraisal of the interplay between global structural adjustments and the changing role and configuration of Asia's world cities at the close of the twentieth century.
