Tale of five cities—risers and fallers in the urban league table
Cities are the primary centres for driving economic growth around the world. Today, the urban economic landscape is dominated by advanced city economies like New York, Tokyo, and London. But as growth continues to surge in Asia, the region’s cities will climb through the ranks to rival the world’s largest city economies.
