GaWC Inventory of World Cities (1999 Edition)
An attempt to define and categorise world cities was made in 1999 by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network (GaWC), based primarily at Loughborough University in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England. The roster was outlined in the GaWC Research Bulletin 5 and ranked cities based on provision of "advanced producer services" such as accountancy, advertising, finance and law, by international corporations. The GaWC inventory identifies three levels of world cities and several sub-ranks.
Note that this roster generally denotes cities in which there are offices of certain multinational companies providing financial and consulting services rather than other cultural, political, and economic centres. Alpha world cities (full service world cities) 12 points:  London New York  Paris  Tokyo 10 points: Chicago  Frankfurt  Hong Kong Los Angeles  Milan  SingaporeBeta world cities (major world cities) 9 points: San Francisco  Sydney  Toronto  Zürich 8 points:  Brussels  Madrid  Mexico City  Săo Paulo 7 points:  Moscow  Seoul Gamma world cities (minor world cities) 6 points  Amsterdam Boston  Caracas Dallas Düsseldorf Geneva Houston  Jakarta  Johannesburg Melbourne Osaka  Prague  Santiago Taipei Washington, D.C. 5 points:  Bangkok  Beijing Montreal Rome  Stockholm  Warsaw 4 points: Atlanta Barcelona Berlin  Budapest  Buenos Aires  Copenhagen Hamburg  Istanbul  Kuala Lumpur Manila Miami Minneapolis Munich ShanghaiEvidence of world city formation Strong evidence 3 points  Athens  Auckland  Dublin  Helsinki  Luxembourg Lyon  Mumbai New Delhi Philadelphia Rio de Janeiro  Tel Aviv  Vienna Some evidence 2 points:  Abu Dhabi  Almaty Birmingham  Bogotá  Bratislava Brisbane  Bucharest  Cairo Cleveland Cologne Detroit Dubai  Ho Chi Minh City  Kiev  Lima  Lisbon Manchester  Montevideo  Oslo  Riyadh Rotterdam Seattle Stuttgart The Hague Vancouver Minimal evidence 1 point: Adelaide Antwerp Aarhus Baltimore Bangalore Bologna Brasília Calgary Cape Town Colombo Columbus Dresden Edinburgh Genoa Glasgow Gothenburg Guangzhou Hanoi Kansas City Leeds |

"Note that this roster generally denotes cities in which there are offices of certain multinational companies providing financial and consulting services rather than other cultural, political, and economic centres."
More or less, it's about the amount of multinational companies serving a city and its region... Nevertheless, I'm quite surprised that Vienna is below Prague.

Yeah, I just wanted to remark the same thing. Prague is 3 classes (!) above Vienna??? WTF?
There are also other cities which seem totally out of place. This list is bullshit IMO.

 After all Dubai lives only by luxury estates (with exploited workers), golf competitions and suchlike. I bet Bratislava has a stronger economical background than Dubai. |
