Global cities. Inventory of World Cities (GaWC) GaWC - Atlas of Hinterworlds. P.J. Taylor There is a long tradition in conventional urban geography of measuring the hinterlands of towns and cities. The concept of hinterworld has been created to describe the worldwide pattern of connections between a given world city and other world cities under conditions of contemporary globalization.

The result is an atlas containing maps of hinterworlds for 123 cities. Measurement of the World City Network -- Taylor et al. 39 (13): Lm.php (Objet application/pdf) 4447\mrdoc\pdf\a4447uab.pdf (Objet application/pdf)
