Abstract
It is suggested that services have become a pervasive feature of modern global economic development. This is not as new as it might seem because underestimates and understatements are a long-standing problem for an economic sector that remains inadequately enumerated. There is a better appreciation of the uneven distribution of service activities and there is growing interest amongst geographers in examining the causes and explaining its consequences. The behaviour of service multinationals and the intimate association between information technology and the emerging network of global cities is particularly significant. But, while the world is the stage upon which service enterprises increasingly operate, local opportunities and constraints can increasingly influence the ability of individual locations (cities) to participate fully in the new order.
