- Futuros de la ciudad global: El rol de las políticas urbanas y regionales en la región Asia-Pacífico John Friedmann Estudios Territoriales The future of world cities depends to a great extent on the response of public policies to the dynamics of urban growth and expansion. In the Asian context, world city regions are currently expandyng at rates that will lead to a doubling of size in less than 20 years. Each world city integrates a larger regions of which it is the economic and financial capital. The world city hierarchy is not a stable equilibrium, and individual cities may rise or fall in their economic standing as "control centres" of global capital. How cities respond to these dynamics/challenges will to a significant extent determine their future in the next century. Six policy issues are discussed, including spatial organization; regional governance; the question of environmental and social sustainability; the social integration of migrant workers and their families; the new relations between state, economy, and civil society; and the formation of intercity networks. The essay concludes by proposing a strategic alliance among major cities on the Pacific Rim -an Asian league of cities- to promote these several purposes. "No mather how successful or unsuccessful, the future of Pacific-Asian societies and their cities will be determined as much by localized socio-economic and political processes as by global imperatives". 1997 artículo científico 0250-7161 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=19607003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=196 EURE application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile EURE (Chile) Num.70 Vol.XXIII
