“…In terms of the financial center function, Atlanta is not the largest player in the southeastern United States. Charlotte, North Carolina, far outstrips Atlanta and is now the third-largest financial center in the United States, in large part due to the aggressive strategies of its banks, which have had a longer tradition of statewide operations than their counterparts in other southeastern states, including Georgia (Lord, 1992;Atlanta Journal and Constitution, June 26, 1994). After 1985, when Southeastern states opened their borders to interstate banking, some major banks in Atlanta merged with large banks in North Carolina.…”

The study of suburban downtowns in the past has emphasized the emergence of multinucleation in urban structure and the growing independence of multiple urban realms. The purpose of this study is to develop a framework to identify and compare the employment profiles of each downtown in a metropolitan area, including the CBD. Using data on retail employment, services, and finance, insurance, and real estate (FIRE), the four downtowns that exist in the Atlanta region are examined, together with scattered-site employment. This study suggests that downtowns, rather than existing as independent urban realms, are mutually interdependent based on work-trip commuting patterns, shopping behavior, and traffic flows in general, all of which increasingly are automobile based. Mass transit ridership suffers from its primary focus on radial services to and from the CBD and poor service levels to other downtowns and to scattered employment sites. centers (variously labeled mini-cities, edge cities, or suburban downtowns). They function, however, as part of a system in each metropolitan area, neither standing 680

“…The lifting of restrictions on U.S. interstate banking, for example, resulted in geographic expansion by large corporations through increased merger and acquisition activity (Lord 1992). The control-center locations of many of the acquiring banks (e.g., Los Angeles, Charlotte, Boston, Atlanta) benefited from mergers, while the locations of the acquired companies tended to be disadvantaged.…”

The U.S. domestic airline industry was deregulated in 1978 as part of a regulatory reform movement that has transformed the banking, telecommunications, energy, and transportation industries. A geography of deregulation has emerged conforming to a core-periphery structure in which industries are increasingly controlled by fewer firms through their major headquarters and operations centers. As a consequence of industry consolidation and the shift to "hub-and-spoke" network service structures, strong domestic "hubs" (e.g., Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta) and international gateway cities (e.g., Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco) have emerged as the core control centers of the air-transport system, while "spoke" cities have become peripheralized in the process. The group of core centers has benefited more than the periphery from increased air transportation employment, frequency of service, passenger flow, and lower fares, except in cases where hubs were dominated by one or two airlines, where fares rose. The latter is manifested in a pattern of higher fares in the more concentrated hubs of the southeastern U.S. and their peripheral hinterlands.

“…It has been argued that liberalized industries often conform to a core-periphery pattern (Cooke, 1992;Goetz and Sutton, 1997;Lord, 1992). Evidence from the US and Europe suggests that the airline industry is no exception to this spatial pattern (Borenstein, 1989;Debbage, 1993;Burghouwt and Hakfoort, 2001;Burghouwt, 2007).…”
