Content preview
His research falls into three broad categories: analysis of the contemporary world city
network; comparative historical studies of urban networks as far back as the sixteenth
century; and theories of the generic process of urban social transformation.
Taylor concludes his analysis by observing that the global economy dominated by these
networked global cities encourages a “continuously expanding” form of “consumption-driven
behaviour” that he finds “hugely inequitable and frighteningly unsustainable”. Helping global
cities “to create a sustainable and equitable world”, he writes, “is the great challenge of the
twenty-first century”.
