GLOBAL CITY
A global city, also called a power city, world city,
alpha city or world center, is a city which is a primary
node in the global economic network. The concept
comes from geography and urban studies, and the idea
that globalization is created, facilitated, and enacted in
strategic geographic locales according to a hierarchy of
importance to the operation of the global system of
finance and trade.
The term "megacity" entered common use in
the late 19th or early 20th centuries; one of the
earliest documented uses of the term was by
the University of Texas in 1904.The term
"global city", rather than "megacity", was
popularized by sociologist Saskia Sassen.
