A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This article examines a possible urban future. It is argued that spatial hierarchies of cities in advanced countries are a function of the location of parts of organizational hierarchies. These latter are increasingly dominated by multinational, multilocational conglomerates, which constitute an economic and political configuration which may be defined as corporatism.
An analysis is made of some of the employment effects of this kind of development. In particular it is argued that the United States, like the United Kingdom, is moving towards a self-service rather than a service economy. Some spatial effects of the development of corporatism are also examined in San Francisco and San Jose.
