城市外部关系通常被描述为两种类型之一：层级的局部腹地(中心地理论)和网络的非局部腹地(中心流理论)，分别被称为城镇和城市。本文在这些通用概念的基础上进行构建和发展，以使它们与当今的企业全球化特别相关。中心地过程表现为多节点全球城市区域，中心流动过程表现为城市间资本投资流动。我们发现，全球城市的资本流动增加了对其区域内邻近较小城市的流动。城镇化与城镇化之间的这种经验联系具有理论和政策含义。
ABSTRACT External urban relations are commonly described as one of two types: hierarchical local hinterlands (central place theory) and networked non-local hinterworlds (central flow theory), referred to as town-ness and city-ness, respectively. This paper builds on and develops these generic concepts to make them specifically relevant to today’s corporate globalization. The central place process is represented by multi-nodal global city-regions, and the central flow process is represented by inter-city capital investment flows. We find that capital flows in global cities increase flows to proximate smaller cities within their regions. This empirical link between city-ness and town-ness has theoretical and policy implications.
