Description: Making of Global City Regions : Johannesburg, Mumbai/Bombay, São Paulo, and Shanghai, Hardcover by Segbers, Klaus (EDT); Raiser, Simon (CON); Volkmann, Krister (CON), ISBN 0801885159, ISBN-13 9780801885150, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In the course of the latest wave of globalization a few cities, once considered economic backwaters, have risen as centers of innovation and production, thereby causing significant increases in development for themselves and their regions. That rapid development did not come easily or entirely by accident, as the contributors of these four extended case studies show, and the municipal governments involved had to change and develop as rapidly, or more rapidly, than their respective areas of industrial development. The contributors make good use of the insights of senior administrators of the four regions, who recount both their successes and their failures at linking the private and public sectors with remarkable honesty. They and the contributors also describe the various levels of effectiveness of non-governmental organizations, ranging from useless to moderately successful, in creating development opportunities for their respective regions.
