Office Location: An Urban and Regional Study

---

In many ways office studies are still at the pioneer fringe of economic and urban geography. There has been a longstanding interest amongst geographers in the location of manufacturing industry but little or no interest in office location. Twenty, or even fifteen, years ago few observers of the urban scene seemed to be aware of the impending impact of the rapidly expand ing office function on the employment structure, land use patterns, transport, land values or redistribution of economic activities within cities and their surrounding regions. Offices remain a comparatively minor user of space in cities, where they are mainly concentrated, but their contribution to the urban economy as well as to some contemporary urban problems is out of all proportion to their propensity to consume space. Visually, office buildings have increasingly dominated the urban landscape. Activities which utilize office space now provide employment for more than 25 percent of the labour force in the most economically advanced countries. Office occupations continue to grow faster than almost all other types of employment and this differen tial is likely to remain for some time into the future. Yet, surprisingly little is understood about the factors which have influenced the growth and location of office activities and their consequences for contemporary and future urban development.
