Globalization and the Rise of Mega-Cities in the Developing World Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Steven Poelhekke ()
Frederick Van der Ploeg ()
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
Thomas Friedman has argued in The World is Flat that those who deny rapid globalization will not survive in the global economy. First, we critically discuss Friedman’s views and highlight the new globalization driven by outsourcing and vertical specialization. Second, we argue that Friedman pays insufficient attention to the spectacular growth of mega-cities in the developing world. The world is not flat, and the developing world certainly is not. Still, mega-cities tend to become too big. Their growth also goes hand in hand with formation of slums and congestion. We thus argue that there is a role for public policies.
