The Rise of Second-Rank Cities: What Role for Agglomeration Economies? (2015, background): “…1992; Krugman, 1991), a resurgence of interest in cities and in their role in national economic performance was registered, followed by more recent studies, especially on the North American reality (Glaeser, 2008; Henderson, 1974, 1985, 1996; Rosenthal & Strange, 2004; Sassen, 2002; Scott, 2001).”
Filtering Risk Away: Global Finance Capital, Transcalar Territorial Networks and the (Un)Making of City-Regions: An Analysis of Business Property Development in Bangalore, India (2014, background): “Although the role of city-regions in economic globalization has received in-depth attention (KRUGMAN, 1991; SASSEN, 1991; SCOTT et al., 2001), there has been less research into how the production of cityregions’ built environment is affected by the globalization of finance capital.”
Global Media Cities in a World-wide Urban Network (2003, background): “However, the processes of globalization essentially affect all cities (Marcuse & van Kempen, 2000; Scott, 2001) and lead to the active or passive integration of a multitude of cities into global economic interrelations.”
From competitive regions to competitive city-regions: a new orthodoxy, but some old mistakes (2007, unknown): “Like the new regionalism that preceded it, the orthodoxy surrounding the new city-regionalism in economic development is particularly important given its support by academics, political leaders, and practitioners (compare Hall and Pain, 2006; HM Treasury et al., 2006; Jones et al., 2006a; NLGN, 2005”
Metropolitan Institutional Reform and the Rescaling of State Space in Contemporary Western Europe (2003, background): “However, its arguments have also been adopted more broadly among many national, regional and local policymakers concerned to find the appropriate recipe for regional economic rejuvenation (Sabel, 1989; Scott, 2001).”
Metropolisation of the European Economic Territory as a Consequence of Increasing Specialisation of Urban Agglomerations in the Knowledge Economy (2007, background): “…chains, for innovation-strong production clusters in the field of information and communication technology (ICT), the pharmaceutical industry, medical engineering and biotechnology, the media industry, etc. (Berg et al., 2001; Scott, 2001; Cooke, 2002, 2003; Florida, 2002, 2005; Krätke, 2005).”
Urban Growth in Developing Countries: A Review of Current Trends and a Caution Regarding Existing Forecasts (2004, background): “Poor performance of the Brazilian economy during the 1990s coupled with the devaluation of the real in January 1998 have further exacerbated weaknesses in the local economy (Scott, 2001a).”
The Firm as Social Networks: An Organisational Perspective (2005, background): “Storper (1997: 20) and Scott (1998, 2001) argue recently that territorial development is significantly embedded in networks of relational assets and geographical proximity particularly at the local and regional scales such that “territorialization is often tied to specific interdependencies in…”
Rebalancing the Spatial Economy: The Challenge for Regional Theory (2015, background): “…is certainly not meant to deny that the agglomeration of economic activity in core-regions or principal cities confers real and significant economic advantages – of course it does; nor to dispute the key role of major city regions in today’s globalizing world (see, e.g. SCOTT 2001; FLORIDA 2008).”
Polycentric Puzzles – Emerging Mega-City Regions Seen through the Lens of Advanced Producer Services (2008, background): “Furthermore, city-regions are ‘active agents in shaping globalization itself ’ (SCOTT, 2001a, p. 7) and can be labelled as ‘basic motors’ (SCOTT, 2001a, p. 4) or ‘essential spatial nodes of the global economy’ (SCOTT et al., 2001, p. 11).”
Functional Polycentricity: Examining Metropolitan Spatial Structure through the Connectivity of Urban Sub-centres (2012, background): “Building on world-city literature (Sassen, 1991; Scott, 2001; Taylor, 2004) and on Castells’ (1996) concept of a space of flows, the project’s case studies addressed functional polycentricity by analysing business network connections and information flows, which are generated by advanced producer…”
