All cities have a particular charm and level of local importance, but only a few are so influential as to be considered in the list of the most important cities in the world. This important recognition is granted to those places that have an activity that causes global impact, in the political and economic aspect.
According to a study on wealth by financial consultancy Knight Frank, the 10 largest cities in the world are also valued for their population, beauty, safety and the standard of living enjoyed by their inhabitants.
New York: “The City of Skyscrapers” or “The Big Apple” has been at the top of this list for many years. It is undoubtedly the financial center of the world with the headquarters of the most important banks. Demographically it is also the largest in the world.
London: It constantly alternates the first place among the most influential cities in the world with New York. London is a cosmopolitan, organized and stable city. It is one of the strongest financial centers in the world, which is known as The City
Paris: It is not only beauty and culture. Paris, in addition to being one of the most visited in the world, also represents one of the most important and influential political and financial centers in Europe. The economic zone is concentrated in the neighborhood of La Défense.
Tokyo: It is the most developed city in Asia. Its historical importance lies in its vigorous technological development and therefore economic progress. Unlike others on the list, this one stands out for being rather unicultural.
The Angels: this American city is one of the most populous in the world. Given the economic activity that is generated around the entertainment industry, it is considered one of the most important.
Sydney: It is the most important city in Australia and the one with the largest population. It is characterized by the diversity of its economic industry, its cultural diversity and the standard of living of its inhabitants.
Hong Kong: It is a symbol of transformation in Asia. Every day this city grows in infrastructure skyscrapers that make it a key place in the development of this part of the world. The most important companies want to have a space in this city, in which work areas are also developed that attract people from all over the planet.
Chicago: It belongs to the developed world. Its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), cosmopolitan lifestyle, and safety make it one of the most important cities in the United States and on a global scale.
