Crafting economic drivers for local areas in globalising regional economy: Sydney as a case study

Abstract

Using tools of small area analysis of the internal spatial economies of the Sydney metropolitan region, this chapter looks at how the region could reach new strategic goals with a more equitable metropolitan economic pattern. The analytical template for this approach is a new form of metropolitan suburban district analysis of a greater metropolitan system. This research uses city/suburban data to explore patterns of spatial drivers in the metropolitan system.
