INTRODUCTION

Generally, a global city is a city that serves the economic systems related to
globalization. It also acts as a center for a system of trade that is increasingly
interconnected. In 1980, studies looked at the traits that united the most significant cities
on the globe, but when globalization processes gained more attention in the years that
followed, these international cities started to be referred to as global cities. The notion of
spatial reorganization and even the theory that cities were evolving into crucial centers
within production, finance, and communications systems are all connected in
globalization. Thus, some thoughts about global cities: some cities serve as the
foundation for globalization. These cities were simultaneously evolving into newly
privileged locations for municipal politics. In comparison to the national economy, global
cities are said to be more integrated with one another due to their interconnectedness
with globalization, which also shows transparent indicators through industrialization.
Moreover, there are advantages and disadvantages to global cities; the advantage is
that they have concentrated substantial labor pools as well as production, services, and
even industries. On the other hand, many are experiencing struggles. Besides, they
frequently have labor markets that are separated, wherein workers in industries enjoy
well-paid jobs while other workers do jobs that are less well-paid, more unstable, and
less desirable in the global economy.
In fact, the development of global cities has been influenced by some
corporations, which have been a huge help in having flexible production focused in
urban regions. Global cities compete with one another to hold onto more resources and
obtain capital, despite the fact that they are interconnected due to their integration into
global industrial and economic systems. Then, local governments have been eager to
market their cities as global in order to successfully compete. Such cities have been
promoted as "entrepreneurial" servers, knowledge economy innovation servers, and
cultural capital servers. It is also typically highlighted by the city's diversity of ethnicities.
Therefore, it has also been stated that by promoting global cities, nonurban
communities run the risk of being economically marginalized inside the country's
economy.
