Mapping the 'Space of Flows': The Geography of Global Business Telecommunications and Employment Specialization in the London Mega-City-Region

R<sc>eades</sc> J. and S<sc>mith</sc> D. A. Mapping the 'space of flows': the geography of global business telecommunications and employment specialization in the London mega-city-region, <italic>Regional Studies</italic>. Telecommunications has radically reshaped the way that firms organize industrial activity. And yet, because much of this technology - and the interactions that it enables - is invisible, the corporate 'space of flows' remains poorly mapped. This article combines detailed employment and telecoms usage data for the South-east of England to build a sector-by-sector profile of globalization at the mega-city-region scale. The intersection of these two datasets allows a new empirical perspective on industrial geography and regional structure to be developed.
