ABSTRACT
The world has been more urbanised than ever before, with huge geographical development of urban centres. The population of towns and cities is always growing. The worldwide terrain is studded with cities in both the northern and southern hemispheres1. It appears to have triggered a "urban revolution." This is confirmed by the fact that in 2007, half of the world’s population lived in urban areas - towns and cities (UNHSP, 20072). Not unexpectedly, the study of city growth and development has arisen as a major issue in urban studies. This characteristic of urban centre expansion and development has frequently been linked to the world economy. The study of cities has long been linked to the global economy. This approach provides insights into urban change processes (Friedmann, 19863 ), as the economy’s strength or weakness is bound to have an effect on urban centres. According to Friedmann (1986), the trend of urbanisation is connected to global economic pressures. Cities have dominated the world power space as a result of their technological and economic growth, and they are referred to as "Global Cities." Friedmann identifies ’Global Cities’ or ’World Cities’ in the global economy as the command centres of global economic power.
