Edited by Peter W. Daniels, Kong Chong (National University of Singapore, Singapore) Ho, Tom Hutton
Part of the Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia series
Hardback
Description
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.
