Are global city office markets inherently unstable?
This examination of office markets in major world cities
analyses the flows of capital that create urban form, the nature of
ownership, investment and occupation and the impact of office
markets on economic stability.
Towers of Capital – office markets & international
financial services explores the relationship between the
evolution of major international financial centres as part of the
global capital market system, the development of office markets in
those cities, real estate investment in those office markets and
the patterns of risk and return that result from the interactions
between financial flows and office markets.
Rather than focusing on just one single aspect of the
relationship, Colin Lizieri sets out the interconnections between
the location of financial activity, the processes operating in
office markets and the volatility of real estate returns. The
resulting schematic model of IFC office markets provides insights
into risk and will act as a springboard for subsequent empirical
work.
Towers of Capital develops a framework for understanding
real estate and the transformation of the built environment in
financial centres, based both on the development of global capital
markets and on micro-level research into the functioning of office
markets.
By drawing together the insights, models and ideas that address
global capital flows, the evolution of city systems, office market
processes and real estate finance, the book will help students and
researchers in property and urban planning, investors and policy
advisors to understand the linkages between the evolution of
financial markets, innovation in commercial real estate markets and
the dynamics of the office markets in global cities.
