The article explores how changes in the financial services industry impact regional economic development. It looks at the effects of corporate reorganization on urban and regional growth. The researchers studied the shift towards financial liberalization and deregulation, and how it influenced employment patterns in the industry from 1971 to 1989. They also examined the globalization of corporate financial markets and the role of banks, building societies, and insurance markets. The findings suggest that as financial markets converge globally, the structures of financial institutions diverge locally, affecting urban development and regulatory policies.
