GaWC Research Bulletin 8 The service sector economies of global cities are responsible for pushing and pulling transient professional migration flows between this city system, however, relatively little is still known about their leakage effects upon country of origin, or brain exchanges in city of destination (Beaverstock, 1994). In the context of the City of London, such knowledge and reflexivity is achieved through: involvement in complex business and social networks; everyday cultural life experiences; gender relations; wealth; the location of specific 'meeting places'; and, their reaction/involvement in the culture capital of its day-to-day financial atmosphere, tacitly couched in story making and rumour. It has been Saskia Sassen, however, who has taken the lead in conceptualising the role of immigrant labour in the global city. www.lboro.ac.uk /gawc/rb/rb8.html

Free Essay The Origin of Primate Cities in Africa A distinct ethnic population that is located a great distance from the primate city will probably not be given enough attention because it would be outside the "critical mass." In this situation the group would most likely retaliate against the government and even threaten to secede. A country's urban system has a strong affect on national and regional economies, and for this reason, the governments of developing countries are greatly concerned with the factors influencing the development of urban primacy. Resource bases are frequently dispersed, and this will also divert markets away from the primate city (Mutlu, 1989). www.echeat.com /essay.php?t=26123   (1893 words)
