Scenarios about 'global cities'
Global cities are major metropolitan centers that function as hubs of international business, finance, culture, and politics in the globalized economy. These urban areas, such as New York, London, Tokyo, and Shanghai, wield disproportionate influence in global affairs through their concentration of multinational corporations, financial institutions, and diverse populations. In alternate history scenarios, the development, decline, or alternate emergence of global cities often reflects broader geopolitical shifts and economic power structures.
