Abstract

Drawing from an existing literature on financial sector development and policy as well as work by economic geographers, a well-established literature on IFCs has emerged to provide both scholars and practitioners with an useful lens for understanding cities as hubs of financial activities. This chapter provides a review and critical assessment of this literature. It argues that the existing IFC literature does not adequately take into account contextual and spatial variables, focusing instead on financial policy only at a general level and within the domestic economy.
