This research articulates the spatial patterns and trends in business services at differentspatial scales (the national level and the intra-metropolitan level in Seoul). Business services havebeen highly concentrated in metropolises, especially Seoul. Between 1995 and 2003, the growth inthe region around capital city has been an important spatial change in the business services at thenational level, reinforcing the role and function of Seoul. This reinforced role of Seoul is closelyrelated to its competitive advantages arising from the urban economies. There have been somedramatic changes in thelocation of business services within Seoul. The most important change wasthe growth of the Kangnam area, previously a sub-center for businesses, as the premier location forbusiness services, exceeding the previous dominant role of the CBD area. Kangnam has reached alevel at which it is benefiting from the agglomeration of a variety of firms, in addition to afavourable social and physical infrastructure. Majority of firms have alliances with customers,suppliers, and/or competitions. Kangnam is specialized in advanced services and networks amongservice firms. Also organizing the amenity environment around business service became necessary. (to adhere business service to the region as like Kangnam.)
