Most Important Cities
GaWC - World
Cities List
Think you live in an important
city? Have arguments with your friends about which city is the best?
Probably not! Well, I do. After all it is important to know what
cities are great to visit and how your hometown baby fairs against
other major cities. Although there is a general
consensus on which are the leading world cities, there is no agreed
upon roster covering world cities below the highest level. So an
Inventory of World Cities was made up by a team called GaWC Globalization
and World Cities - Study Group & Network
- At Loughborough University in the UK. The inventory of world
cities based upon their level of advanced producer services.
Global service centres are identified and graded for accountancy,
advertising, banking/finance and law. Aggregating these results
produces a roster of hundreds of world cities at 5 levels: There are
40 Alpha. The only two ranking with A++ are New York and London.
Here are the links
to the only "full service" world cities found globally.
