Reshaping economic geography in East
Asia illustrates how extensively spatial factors have
influenced and informed by growth and development in the
region. This study was conceived as a companion volume to
and informed by the World Development Report (WDR) 2009:
reshaping economic geography. By providing case studies and
illustrative examples and by deepening the understanding of
the forces of economic geography in the East Asia region,
this work helped to substantiate some of the key concepts in
the WDR 2009. There is full consistency in terms of the
analytical framework used and broad agreement on how
economic geography has influenced growth trends across a
diverse range of countries. Reshaping economic geography in
East Asia also highlights the dramatic urbanization process
under way in the region, evidenced by the number of globally
recognized 'mega cities'. Seven of the
world's 21 mega cities are in East Asia. Cities in East
Asia generate about three-quarters of annual output and
between a half and two-thirds of exports. Often, much of
this is concentrated in one major city: Bangkok. Bangkok
accounts for 40 percent of Thailand's gross domestic
product (GDP) and Manila for 30 percent. Other major centers
such as Guangzhou, Jakarta, Seoul, Shanghai, and Tokyo are
seen as driving their economies. East Asian cities have been
able to deliver the agglomeration benefits required for
growth and are now exceptionally well connected to the
global economy. The region, excluding Japan, is home to 16
of the largest 25 seaports in the world and 14 of the
largest 25 container ports. Without this improved
connectivity, the region's rapid expansion in trade
volumes will not have been possible. This collection of
studies is organized in four sections. The first section
comprises chapters dealing with the 'context and
concepts' for this volume. The second deals with
Southeast Asia, specifically, the Association of South East
Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. The third deals with
Northeast Asia: China and the Republic of Korea, and the
fourth section provide an overview of lessons learned. The
time perspective for most of the studies spans several
decades; in many cases, outcomes and policies can be traced
back half a century or more. |
