The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 initiated a new period in world history and a new global economic geography. Within the new economic geography, trading blocks and “Economic Regions” have emerged as the foundation elements. While economic regions do not appear in any atlas they are the functional units that form the hubs in the Global Network and are the concentration of population and economic activity that will shape the future of the world. This presentation will focus describing the new global economic relationships and “why” economic regions have emerged as the key units in the global economy.
As the pattern of the Global Network has changed; the patterns of wealth and power have changed with them. Over the past 2200 years the Global Network has evolved through five distinct stages of development and entered a sixth stage with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Each stage in the development was initiated by the introduction of new technologies that redefined the global economy and trade pattern. This presentation will describe the development of technology and its impact on the economy, politics, society and patterns on connectivity and trade.
The US had the world’s most developed transportation infrastructure, however it was designed to fit the patterns of economy and trade of the 20th century, not the 21st century. As globalization continues and new economic and trade patterns emerge significant gaps have emerged between the system the US has and the system the US needs. This presentation will focus on describing the changes that have taken place in the world and how they have changed the global patterns of economy and trade and the demands on US infrastructure.
The environment has emerged as one of the key issues of the 21st century that will dominate political business and social activities. Traditionally environmental concerns have been viewed as a barrier to the development to infrastructure and the economy. This presentation is derived from a project completed for the US Forest Service that focused on understanding the relationship of patterns of human activity and the patterns of the environment. It will present a new way of thinking and a new framework for guiding the future of the environment, infrastructure and the economy through which each can continue to evolve and thrive.
As we have an extensive library of images covering Global patterns and characteristics and extensive North American images, we can present to targeted audiences such as a state, region, association or private business a customized presentation put together from images in our library with images we make specifically for that client.
