During the second half of the twentieth century, development in the
Asia-Pacific region has been dominated by industrialization.
However, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, services, in
particular, finance, information and creative services, have become
deeply embedded in the processes of urban growth. In Asia-Pacific
the rise of service industries has lead to national modernization
programmes and globalization strategies. Services are also driving
change in the internal form of city regions and are being actively
deployed as instruments of metropolitan reconfiguration and land
use changes. These changes have created problems such as social
polarization and the displacement of traditional industries and
residential districts. Also, there are tensions between local and
global processes in the development of service industries, and
between the imperatives of competitive advantage and sustainable
development. Service Industries and Asia Pacific Cities brings
together a multi-disciplinary team of experts to explore and
illustrate the theoretical, conceptual and practical issues arising
from the transformation of Asia-Pacific cities by service
industries.
