In this important book, Kathy Pain and Gilles Van Hamme bring
together a prestigious group of contributors to provide a
systematic assessment of the dynamic, multi-scale network
restructuring and spaces of flows associated with globalization
that have shaped Europe's contemporary position in the world during
the past decade.The book examines the changing relations of cities
and regions in Europe in a global perspective both through its
position in the international division of labour and in different
types of networks and flows: trade of goods; advanced services and
finance - stock exchange and office real estate investments; human;
knowledge; and maritime - and considers how European territories
are being unequally impacted by these trends. A distinctive feature
of the research results presented is their specific empirical focus
on the functional and economic relations of cities and regions in
globalization and how these relate to territorial structures in a
spatial context. Providing in-depth reflection on territorial
policies in Europe in a global context and pointing to a basic
contradiction between EU economic and spatial strategies to promote
sustainable growth alongside socio-territorial equity, this volume
will appeal to scholars, students and researchers with interests in
urban and regional planning, spatial and economic development and
globalization. It also has strong relevance for government policy
makers at the state, regional and local levels, as well as
professional practitioners in a wide variety of disciplines.
