Thieved from here

An attempt to define and categorise world cities was made by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network (GaWC), based primarily at Loughborough University in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England. The roster was outlined in the GaWC Research Bulletin 5 [1] and ranked cities based on provision of "advanced producer services" such as accountancy, advertising, finance and law, by international corporations. The GaWC inventory identifies three levels of world cities and several sub-ranks. Note that this roster generally denotes cities in which there are offices of certain multinational companies providing financial and consulting services rather than other cultural, political, and economic centres. There is a schematic map GaWC cities at their website, [2].

Alpha: 10-12 points, Beta: 7-9 points, Gamma: 4-6 points, 'Delta' (my term, not theirs), 1-3 points
