Global city is an urban centre that enjoys significant competitive advantages and that serves as a hub

within a globalized economic system. When we say urban it means city, town pag sinabi naman rural eto
naman yung mga provinces and countryside. So yung term na global city galling sya sa researches about
sa iba’t ibang cities. Dati kase nung 1980s tinignan nila ano ano ba yung common characteristics ng
most important cities sa mundo. So from world cities tinawag na syang GLOBAL CITY kase nga nagiging
popular na rin yung term na globalization

Narealize nung mga tao dati na yung mga important cities na ito yung naging center ng global networks
of production, finance, and telecommunications. Kapag napapadpad tayo sa syudad kita naman ang
difference sa infrastructure saka cost of living. Kaya sabi sa global city thesis, then, such cities are seen as
the building blocks of globalization.

New York, London, and Tokyo can be identified as global cities, all of which are hubs of global finance
and capital. Ano bang pagkakatulad ng mga cities na are? may high degree of urban development, a
large population, the presence of major multinational companies, a significant and globalized financial
sector, well developed a transportation infrastructure, local or national economic dominance, high
quality educational and research institutions, and a globally influential output of ideas, innovations, or
cultural products.

With time, however, research has been completed on emerging global cities outside of this triad, such as
Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Houston, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Paris, São Paulo, Sydney, and Zürich. Sa
pilipinas anong Global city natin? BGC Bonifacio Global City (also known as BGC, Global City, or The Fort)
is a financial business district in Taguig.

World cities are categorized as such based on the global reach of organization found in them. Pag kase
sinabing global reach eto yung ability ng isang business to have customers in many different parts of the
world. These cities can be seen as important nodes in a variety of global network, Kase global cities
facilitates connection of different parts of the world resulting in the expansion of international cultural,
economic, and political activities.

Although cities are major beneficiaries of globalization, they are also the most severely affected by
global problems
