• With unresolved discourses prevailing in mainstream economic thought, including in economic geography, city-regions and their changing space economies is the central theme of this volume. The chapter focuses on key and competing theoretical and conceptual issues of the space economy of global city-regions more broadly, and of South Africa and the Gauteng City-Region (GCR) specifically. The chapter offers the GCR as a microcosm of the South African national economy in the form of evident significant placed-based variations in the intensity and character of economic structure that stimulate growth and despair. This exploration is useful since the GCR shapes the national economy significantly in various ways as well as playing a vital global role in such areas as capital and financial flows, international migration, and research and innovation.
