ABSTRACT
The evolution of advanced (disorganized) capitalism and the emergence of aninformational economy have led to a significant reorganization of the eco-nomic geography of places and regions throughout most of the world. We shall examine the nature and implications of these changes for the economic landscapes of the NICs and LDCs in Chapter 8. In this chapter, we focus our attention on urban and regional change in the core countries, emphasizing the overall impact of corporate reorganization in creating new industrial spaces and affecting regional economic well-being.
