This course investigates the concept of global city region as a source of issues
that require new approaches for urban development decision-making. Emphases of the
discussions will be on the identification of global city regions, the economic and
social forces that shape their formation and change, and planning and management
responses to the dynamics of these emerging urban and regional giants. The subject
draws upon international and Chinese experiences in the development of the concept
and in the illustration of outcomes. Successful learning in the subject will involve
an effort to get to know and understand the character and planning issues confronting
metropolitan areas that experience global city development forces. Students are
encouraged to read widely about cities, drawing where possible on web pages of the
main players to capture recent city region dynamics and policy debates.

Getting to know a global city region
One of the objectives of the course calls for students to develop an international
perspective on the pattern and process of global city region development. That can
be achieved in part through broad reading, but also through effort to know and
understand a case study city. In addition to chapters in some of the city specific
books outlined above (e.g., Sassen and Abu-Lughod) individual city regions can be
explored in books listed below.
