Abstract
This paper explores recent research on the global urban hierarchy. Aft
er reviewing the literature, we highlight the problem of data and, in
particular, the lack of good comparative data for comparing world citi
es. We provide data and analysis on major financial centers, corporate
headquarters, telecommunications nodes, transportation nodes and site
s of global spectacle.
