Publisher's Synopsis
This study explores office locations within the post-industrial urban context. Linking recent data on both office activities and office structures in Dallas County, Texas, the research examines two common practices in the office location literature: the use of office activities and structures as locational proxies for one another and the reliance upon traditional classification schemes of urban commercial structure to describe office locations. - - The study indicates that both of these practices are inadequate. Moveover, the Dallas case reveals a spatially, physically and functionally coherent system of office clusters, corridors and dispersed locations for the office industry. The research also suggests a restructuring of the spatial economy in Dallas, expressed most clearly in an overarching post-industrial spine of office locations.
