 Reasons of Increase In Global Cities

The increase in global cities is linked to the globalization of economies and the
centralization of mass production within urban centers.

The two factors have led to the emergence of networks of activities that seek to fulfill
the service and financial requirements of multinationals.

The cities grow to become global while other suffer deindustrialization or stagnation
of their economies.
 Criticisms of Global Cities
Despite playing significant roles in the global economy, global city thesis has
been known for being a threat to state-centric perspectives. These cities have
been accused of focusing their reach to other global cities and neglecting cities
within the national outreach. These cities are more connected to the outside
world than to their domestic economy. Although they are interconnected and
interdependent, global cities are always in a competitive state. The cities of New
York and London have been trying to outwit each other as the global financial
centers. Local governments have been keen promote the global cities within
their territories as either economic or cultural centers, or sites of innovation
(Kiprop, 2017)
 Cities as Engines of Globalization
The biggest metropolitan areas provide a large, diverse economic base for modern
service and other innovative industries that derive important benefits from such an
environment.

It is in cities that global operations are centralized and where we can see most clearly
the phenomena associated with their activities, whether it be changes in the structure
of employment, the formation of powerful partnerships, the development of
monumental real estate, the emergence of new forms of local governance, the effects
of organized crime, the expansion of corruption, the fragmentation of informal
networks or the spatial isolation and social exclusion of certain population groups
(Vleit, 2001
 Cities as Engines of Globalization
The characteristics of cities and their surrounding regions, in turn, help shape globalization,
for example by providing a suitable labor force, making available the required physical and
technological infrastructure, creating a stable and accommodating regulatory environment,
offering the bundle of necessary support services, contributing financial incentives and
possessing the institutional capacity without which globalization cannot occur. Thus, cities
mediate the reciprocal relationships between economic globalization on the one hand and
human development on the other.

They form an important link in processes of globalization and their implications for human
development (Vleit, 2001
 Globalizing Cities: Challenge
The lack of an integrated planning framework in many urban areas taking into account the
nter-permeability of cities;

A multiplicity of local bodies obstructing efficient planning and land use; rigid master plans and
restrictive zoning regulations that limit the land available for building, which constrict the cities’
opportunity to grow in accordance with changing needs;

Increasing vulnerability to climate change (urban heat, floods, etc.) and disasters and
infrastructure deficit Increasing prosperity a midst poverty, inequality, inter-city strife/political
conflicts, displacement, migration, and need for social protection mechanism.
