INTRODUCTION

 A Global City also called a peer city, world, city, alpha city or world center is a city which
is a primary node in the global economic.
 A City that plays a significant role in the global

Not all people have been to global cities, but most know about them. Their influence,
extends even to ones imagination. What are these places? Why are they important and
how are they relevant to you?
If you had the chance, would you like to move or go to, New York? Tokyo? How about
Sydney would you like to visit these major cities

 WHY STUDY GLOBAL CITIES? (BAYADOG, CHERRY MAE O.)

 How ideas of Internationalism shaped modern world politics

 We also examine cultural movements like K-pop and how they spread
through media like the internet
 First globalization is a spatial because it occurs in physical spaces
 Second globalization is a spatial because what means it move is the fact it is
based in place.

DEFINING THE GLOBAL CITY (RECLA, PRINCESS GRACE P.)

 Saskia Sassen is a sociologist who popularize the term “ GLOBAL CITY” in
the 1990’s.Her criteria for what constitutes a global city we’re primarily
economic. In her work, She initially identified three global cities: New York,
London, and Tokyo all of which are hubs of global finance and capitalism.
They are homes for instance of the world’s top stock exchanges where
investors buy and sell shares in major corporations.
 Limiting the discussion of global cities to these three metropolises,
however, is providing more and more restrictive. The global economy has
changed significantly since Sassen wrote her book, and any account of the
economic power of cities today must take note of the latest development.
 INDICATORS FOR GLOBALITY (NERI, JOFFERSON)
So what are the multiple attributes of the Global City? The foremost
Characteristic is :
• Economic Power – Sassen remains correct in saying that economic power
largely determines which cities are global.
• Economic Opportunities – In a global city make it attractive to talents from
across the world.
• Economic Competitiveness –
 Center of Authority-
 Center of higher learning and culture – A city’s intellectual influence is seen
through the influence of it’s Publishing Industry

THE CHALLENGES OF GLOBAL CITIES (ZAPANTA,DANIELA O.)

 Global cities conjure up images of fast- paded, exciting, cosmopolitan
lifestyle. But such descriptions are lacking.
 They can be sites of great inequality and Poverty as well as tremendous,
violence. Like the broader processes of globalization, global cities create
winners and losers.
 Cities can be sustainable because of their density. As Richard Florida Notes:
“Ecologist have found that by con- concentrating their population in smaller
areas, cities and metros decrease, human enroachment on natural habitat”
 THE GLOBAL CITY AND THE POOR (LOPEZ, ALRYN V.)

 We have consistently noted that economic globalization has paved the way for massive
inequality
 Many cities particularly those in the developing countries are sites of contradiction. In
places like Mumbai, Jakarta and Manila, it is common to find gleaming buildings
alongside massive shantytowns .This duality may even be seen in rich, urban cities.
 New York and San Francisco are poor urban endaves occupied by African. Americans
and immigrant families who are often denied opportunities at a better life .
 This phenomenon of driving out the poor in favor of newer, wealthier residence is called
gentrification
 In most of the world’s global cities, the middle class is also thinking out.
 Globalization creates high income jobs that are concentrated in global cities.
 CONCLUSION
Global cities, as noted in this lesson, are sites and mediums of globalization. They are,
therefore, material representation of the phenomenon. Through them, we see the best
globalization; They are places that create exciting fusions of culture and ideas. They are also
places that generate tremendous wealth. However, they remain sites of great inequality, where
global servants serve global entrepreneurs. The question of how globalization can be made
more just is partly a question of how make their cities more just.
