Searching for the Mecca of finance: Islamic financial services and the world city network (2010, methodology): “The criterion for selecting the different firms was different for each of the APS sectors, as Taylor et al. (2002a) explain, but a common criterion was that each of the firms should have a presence in what they dub the ‘three prime globalization arenas’: northern America (the USA and Canada),…”
Megalopolis unbound: Knowledge collaboration and functional polycentricity within and beyond the Yangtze River Delta Region in China, 2014 (2018, background): “At the global scale, the world cities literature reveals a complex and evolving network of relationships between cities (Liu et al., 2014; Taylor et al., 2002, 2014).”
Diversity and power in the world city network (2002, methodology): “One implication of emphasising diversity among world cities is that emulation becomes problematic – the future urban world will not consist of many ‘little New Yorks’ and ‘mini-Londons’ (Taylor et al., 2001a).”
The Rise of the “City-region” Concept and its Development Policy Implications (2008, background): “According to large sections of the literature, this greater territorial interconnectivity will often bypass the nation-state and connect city-regions directly (Taylor et al., 2002; Taylor, 2004), in a sort of “archipelago economy” (Veltz, 1996).”

A Perspective of Economic Geography (2004, background): “In this connection, the main issues increasingly crystallized around globalization and its expression in international commodity chains, cross-border corporate linkages, capital flows, foreign branch plant formation, and so on (e.g., Dicken, 1992; Johnston et al., 1995; Taylor et al., 2002).”
From competitive regions to competitive city-regions: a new orthodoxy, but some old mistakes (2007, neutral): “Drawing comparisons with Storper’s (1997) notion that we are living in a ‘regional world’, comprised of regional economies that are the building blocks for a networked and interconnected global state, according to more recent contributions, the increasing territorial interconnectivity between city-r”
