內(nèi)容提要：

In this lecture, a state-of the-art methodology and tailored data gathering is used to present a large-scale analysis of the trajectories of individual cities and regions in the world city network between 2000 and 2016. The methodology used to examine cities’ evolving network centralities is based on advanced producer services firms “interlocking” cities through their worldwide distributions of offices. The analysis is not limited to a set of putative “world cities”, as it incorporates 259 cities from all world-regions into a comprehensive global urban analysis. Absolute, relative and standardised measures of change are developed to reveal the major dimensions of change. The most notable finding is that significant connectivity gains have been limited to a small set of cities (Dubai, Shanghai, Beijing, Doha in particular) and regions (China in particular) in the face of persisting core/periphery patterns at the level of the global economy, with New York and London remaining firmly at the apex. At the same time, overall levels of connectivity in the world city network have clearly risen, suggesting an increasingly integrated global urban network in which an uneven west-to-east shift is discernible.
