ABSTRACT
The nine world regions dealt with in this section are all very different in history and culture but their cities have all been experiencing some degree of ‘global servicing’ activity, as evidenced by their inclusion in the worldwide office networks of business service firms. Clearly financial, professional and creative services have become globalized. But it is also equally clear that this globalization is very uneven: there is a geography to global servicing activity. Comparing our regions provides a very basic instrument for describing this global geography and that is the task of this brief summary of Part B’s results.
