This outward-looking model of economic growth has underpinned Penang's economic development up until the present. The question that now arises is whether Penang's present mode of development will continue to be effective, or whether it will have to transform itself. First, Malaysia in general, and Penang in particular are caught in a middle-income trap. Second, while the evolving weight of the global economy is shifting towards Asia, many of its emerging powers are competing with Penang in areas where it formerly excelled. Third, Penang is a state within a federation, and its capital, George Town, is a secondary city. Neither can rival Kuala Lumpur in terms of size or facilities, and thus must offer investors other attributes. Effectively meeting these challenges while retaining Penang's vibrant and living culture are the key issues that are dealt with in this second volume of the Penang Studies Series. 606 $aWorld Heritage areas$zMalaysia$zPulau Pinang (State) 607 $aPulau Pinang (Malaysia : State)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aPulau Pinang (Malaysia : State)$xHistory 607 $aPulau Pinang (Malaysia : State)$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld Heritage areas 676 $a330.95951 702 $aHutchinson$b Francis E. 702 $aSaravanamuttu$b J$g(Jayaratnam), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463171603321 996 $aCatching the wind$92467336 997 $aUNINA
