Sassen in determining a global city.
A city can be regarded as global on political ground which means to say that it is the situs
where seat of power of the government is located. for instance Manila City is the location of
the official residence of the Chief Executive. Washington DC, is where the White House is
although it is not as economically active as NY
11:46 AMCaberra in Australia is not as popular as Sydney yet most of the official residences
are located there

aside from being the seat of power, a city is also global on the political perspective

UN headquarters is located

culture. Examples (Claudio, Contemporary World) NY, Paris, London (publishing
industry) New York Times Boston - Harvard Australia - Sydney and Melbourne LA
American film industry Copenhagen- culinary capital of the world Singapore - MTV
Asia channel news

power, political status and center of excellence. You are set for the assessment

from the urban places and the one coming from rural places however there is a
commonality on their answers and that is having a child is actually based on
economics, politics and culture
