摘要
Previous explorations of the world city network have tended to focus on analyses of its upper ranks. Using a database on the global strategies of 100 financial and business firms across 234 cities, fuzzy classification analysis is used to define 22 urban arenas. With their 'core' and 'hybrid' memberships, these arenas are constituted by interweaving hierarchical and regional processes. The results include evaluations of the previously unassessed outer reaches of the world city network.
