“…A number of scholars have argued that the spatial behavior and evolution of managerial organizations is a process to which geographers should direct their attention (Ackerman, 1958(Ackerman, , 1963Davis, 1982). The development and spread of modern capitalism has created an organizational force in the post industrial world second only to the national state.…”

This paper is a call for a new paradigm to explain the spatial evolution of corporate decision-making activity within a system of urban centers. The new paradigm is Quaternary Place Theory and it is necessary because it expresses something important about the explanation of the spatial evolution of headquarters decision-making in urban centers both as a process and as an activity. The author argues that the proposed theory provides a foundation for a community of practitioners that deal with the location and interaction of quaternary activities. The quaternary paradigm is intended to complement and replace the primary agricultural, secondary industrial, and tertiary central place theories, now awkwardly out of place in explanations of the locations of quaternary places and system of places. This paper recognizes that a comprehensive statement on quaternary activity has yet to emerge, argues that there is a need for such a theory in urban geography, links the original contributions of this special issue, and provides suggestions for continued research.

The impact of government on the Canadian urban system is explored using Revenue Canada data from personal income tax returns. Variations in taxes and in certain forms of government expenditure among urban places are linked with city size, economic base, per capita income, and rate of growth. It is found that many locations are heavily dependent on the public sector and that, overall, government programmes redistribute income toward smaller and less prosperous places. The most significant effect, however, is the stabilization of local economies by means of a large and relatively constant public sector. L'impact du gouvernement sur le système urbain canadien est étudié en utilisant des données de Revenu Canada qui proviennent des déclarations d'impǒt sur le revenu des particuliers. Les variations de taxes et de certains types de dépenses publiques parmi les régions urbaines sont associés avec les variables de taille urbaine, base économique, revenu per capita, et taux de croissance. Il est démontré que plusieurs régions sont fortement dépendantes du secteur public et que, globalement, les programmes gouvernementaux redistribuent le revenue vers les régions les plus petites et les moins prospères. Mais l'effet le plus significatif est celui de la stabilisation des économies locales par le biais d'un large et relativement constant secteur public.
