Gateways and corridors in globalisation: planning sustainable infrastructures for transcontinental 'Spaces of Flows'
Prof. Kathy Pain, Young Foundation and Loughborough University, UK
Abstract
The post-industrial shift from manufacturing to knowledge-based services, the informationalisation of economic activity and rise of the transnational business organisation in a globalising service economy, pose major challenges for policy-making and planning which remain tied to a territorial space defined by jurisdictional boundaries. This paper suggests that cross-border flows associated with new forms of commercial production and trade are changing local-global relationships, and the roles, functions and policy imperatives for gateway cities and corridors. Major tensions arising between Europe's regional development priorities as the impacts of globalisation extend and deepen are examined and the potential lessons for other places considered."
