Measuring the World City Network: New Results and Developments
Abstract
Measuring the world city network is achieved by careful specification of a network model plus customised data collection to operationalize the model. The resulting interlocking network is described as advanced producer service firms in the role of city network-makers through their routine work across multiple offices. The basic measurement derived is the network connectivity of a city; this describes how well that city is integrated into the world city network. Selected results from the latest data collection (2008 – 175 firms, 526 cities) are presented with leading (‘alpha’) cities divided into connectivity strata. It is shown that compared to previous analyses in 2000 and 2004, the upper echelons of the world city network are becoming more and more integrated.
