Service Industries and Asia-Pacific Cities Contributed by distinguished scholars from all over the world, this volume convincingly critiques conventional thinking about service industries and richly documents urban services across the Asia- Pacific region from not only economic but social, political and geographic perspectives. Professor Cindy Fan, Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles A timely contribution to our understanding of the dynamism of the region’s economic landscapes, bringing together a number of fascinating studies in an agenda-setting volume. Niall Majury, School of Geography, Queen’s University Belfast During the second half of the twentieth century, development in the Asia-Pacific region has been dominated by industrialisation. 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 the Asia-Pacific the rise of service industries has led to national modernisation programmes and globalisation 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 polarisation 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. ii P.W.Daniels is Professor of Geography at the University of Birmingham.
