This book is a collection of selected papers presented in the 2012
annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers in New
York honoring James O. Wheeler (1938-2010). The eight papers are
informed and inspired by James O. Wheeler's many contributions to
urban geography, particularly in the areas of urban hierarchy,
information flows, cities in the telecommunications age, and cities
as corporate command and control centers. They adopt and extend Jim
Wheeler's corporate and/or hierarchical approaches to discuss
institutional investment in the U.S., corporate interlocking
directorates and fast-growing firms in Canada, corporate intangible
assets in South Korea, urban development in Beijing and Macau, and
social and cultural diversity of global cities such as New York.
Although these two approaches are not the fanciest ones in today's
urban geography, they are essential to the understanding of how
urban areas are connected and what drives this interconnectedness
in this age of globalization. This book was previously published as
a special issue of Urban Geography.
