Factors influencing poly-centric employment formation in metropolitan regions are identified and explained. Less is known about the dynamics of change in cities of the developing world so a comparative study was proposed that was successfully funded by EASTS International Collaborative Research Activity (ICRA). A common analytical framework is outlined. This paper presents preliminary empirical findings for rank-size distributions of employment and for employment specific preference functions for the journey from work to home. Comparative findings are presented and interpreted for Bangkok, Canberra, Dalian, Delhi, Istanbul, Sapporo, Sydney, and Tokyo. Directions for on-going research are outlined.
