Beginning from 14 October 2009 until 11 November 2009, I am so lucky enough to have a fruitful discourses with Prof Dr Peter Taylor (I namely him as THE GURU OF WORLD CITY NETWORK). The weekly session with him started from 11 am until 12 noon is so meaningful for my research. I really gain a new knowledge about urban economic, city competitiveness and urban-region. His horizon ideas, vision and wisdom about urban development in the past, current and the future really motivate me to keep finding deeper about my PhD research. Here are a few topics that we discussed during my session with him.
14 October 2009
- NEW WAYS OF THINKING ABOUT ABU DHABI AS EMERGING GLOBAL CITY
21 October 2009
- THE ECONOMY OF CITY : HOW NEW WORK BEGINS
- CITIES WITHIN SPACES OF FLOWS
- JANE JACOBS (1916-2006) AN APPRECIATION
- EXPLOSIVE CITY GROWTH IN THE MODERN WORLD SYSTEM
28 October 2009
- PRIMACY OF CITIES IN THE EXPANSION OF ECONOMIC LIFE
- PROBLEMATIZING CITY/STATE RELATION
- SPACE AND SUSTAINBILITY : THE PRODUCTION OF SOCIAL SPACES THROUGH CITY-WORK
11 November 2009
- EXTERNAL URBAN RELATIONAL PROCESS : INTRODUCING CENTRAL FLOW THEORY TO COMPLEMENT CENTRAL PLACE THEORY
- URBAN ECONOMICS IN THRALL TO CHRISTALLER : A MISGUIDED SEARCH FOR CITY HIERARCHIES IN EXTERNAL URBAN RELATIONS
The findings of the above discussion I will explore in my PhD research. For next week my discourses will be with Dr John Harrison. Our discussion will focus more on urban governance. The topic and detail of our discussion, I will inform later in my next blog.
