Architectural Firms in World Cities: Global Practice Matrix

P.J. Taylor, P.L. Knox and E. Milfeit

These data constitute the basis of analysis in GaWC Research Bulletin No. 128 “Globalization of Architectural Practice” and are also used in GaWC Research Bulletin No. 146 “Leading World Cities: Empirical Evaluations of Urban Nodes in Multiple Networks”.

The data are a subset of GaWC Data Set 13; they include just architectural firms of which there are 21. Because of the sparseness of the matrix, cities are restricted to those with total practice scores of at least 3 (i.e. they must have more than just one typical office). 104 cities qualify.

The final matrix arrays 22 architectural firms across 104 cities showing global practice values.
