11. Why It Matters
"How a city plugs into the world economy of advanced
producer services could impact local growth patterns...it could
influence a city's economic prospects...it could help shape
what types of households a city attracts and retains. In short,
global connectivity has become another urban barometer - a
new statistic that helps reveal the health and strength of cities
and regions.” -Peter J. Taylor and Robert E. Lang, Brookings Institution
