TY - JOUR AV - public Y1 - 2018/// EP - 1719 TI - Replacing the services sector and three-sector theory: urbanization and control as economic sectors N2 - Developed during the Second World War, ?three-sector theory? popularized the notion of the ?services? sector. It has quietly underpinned understandings of economic structure ever since. The limitations and influence of this basic breakdown have led to many critiques and extensions, but no replacements. Inspired by Henri Lefebvre?s The Urban Revolution (1968), we develop a four-sector model that replaces services with sectors focused on urbanization and control. We argue that this model is a better reflection of material economic life, and a more useful way of approaching the 21st-century economy. It also offers scholars of urbanization and regional development a creative new way of seeing urbanization.
