GUEST EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION: Towards a Research Agenda for Pacific Rim Cities

Abstract

This paper outlines three fundamental reasons underlying the need for more active communication between sectors (private, public and academic) and between urban centers in the Pacific Rim. First, the public and private sectors must, by virtue of their raisons d'etre, operate at close quarters. Secondly, the context in which urban development takes place is increasingly complex. This suggests a role for scholars in helping to inform the debate on urban development processes. Finally, many cities in the Pacific Rim region are increasingly bound to one another through flows of population, capital, information and trade. The key to understanding the evolution of individual urban areas within this region may well be through increased knowledge of the network as a whole.
