AIN Globalization and World Cities Ranks

A global city, also called world city or sometimes alpha city or world center, is a city generally considered to be an important node in the global economic system.

AIN Global Cities Index edit

  • Alpha ++ cities are vastly more integrated with the global economy than any other cities.
  • Alpha + cities are advanced service niches for the global economy.
  • Alpha level cities (sorted in to Alpha cities and Alpha − cities) are cities that link major economic regions into the world economy.
  • Beta level cities are cities that link moderate economic regions into the world economy and are classified into three sections, Beta + cities, Beta cities, and Beta − cities.
  • Gamma level cities are cities that link smaller economic regions into the world economy, and are sorted into three sections, Gamma + cities, Gamma cities, and Gamma − cities.
  • Sufficiency level cities are cities that have a sufficient degree of services so as to not be obviously dependent on world cities.
