Summary
Economic globalisation and the development of urban regions are two processes that mutually bring each other about. Economic globalisation is based on a growing concentration of activities and population in large metropolitan areas and these are developed by the technological impulse of communication systems and by specialised economic functions (tertiary and innovative) that the globalisation introduces in those regions. This situation affects the design of urban policies that have to face new challenges and problems derived from the new urban hierarchy.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
