GaWC INTELLIGENCE               Number 6
Update of the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) Network

ANNNOUNCEMENT
We have begun a new series entitled GaWC World City Commentaries
http://www.lboro.ac.uk/gawc/comment.html which feature short newspaper
pieces on world cities. The series is launched with 23 short commentaries
written by Jan Nijman in his column "Miami in Perspective". They were first
published in that city's aptly named newspaper WorldCity. INVITATION: if
there are any other such short articles on world city matters we would be
delighted to present them to a larger audience through the new series.

There have been seven GaWC Research Bulletins since the last update:
