Interconnected
Thinking "Hive" Cities To Dominate
Future
The 21st century will not be dominated by
America or China, Brazil or India, but by the
city. In an age that appears increasingly
unmanageable, cities rather than states are
becoming the islands of governance on which
the future world order will be built. This new
world is not -- and will not be -- one global
village, so much as a network of different
ones. Time, technology, and population growth
have massively accelerated the advent of this
new urbanized era. Already, more than half the
world lives in cities, and the percentage is
growing rapidly. But just 100 cities account
for 30 percent of the world's economy, and
almost all its innovation. Many are world
capitals that have evolved and adapted through
centuries of dominance: London, New York,
Paris. New York City's economy alone is larger
than 46 of sub-Saharan Africa's economies
combined. Hong Kong receives more tourists
annually than all of India. These cities are
the engines of globalization, and their
enduring vibrancy lies in money, knowledge,
and stability. They are today's true Global
Cities.
