Number 6
Update of the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Network
Annnouncement
We have begun a new series entitled GaWC World City Commentaries http://www.lboro.ac.uk/gawc/comment.html which feature short newspaper pieces on world cities. The series is launched with 23 short commentaries written by Jan Nijman in his column "Miami in Perspective". They were first published in that city's aptly named newspaper WorldCity.
Invitation: if there are any other such short articles on world city matters we would be delighted to present them to a larger audience through the new series.
