Viewpoint: The Transactional City: a Call for Research and Policy Attention
Abstract
Some societies and economies are manifesting a shift to a dominance of employment in services and post-industrial, information-age occupations. Introduced here are some of the implications for cities as this new, "transactional" era evolves. The need for geographers to utilize their knowledge towards better understanding the transactional city is stressed.References
