To Those Inquiring About Ranking

On the GaWC website, ranking terminology is clearly defined as well as the criteria a city must meet to reach a certain level. New York City and London represent global centers of trade, economy, culture, and language, and are categorized as such. The information on this page is directly from the GaWC website, any grievances should be addressed accordingly.

As for the other listings, please note the order in which Alpha, Beta, and Gamma cities appear does NOT reflect a list ranking. All cities in a certain list category list should be treated as equals. For example, although Bangalore is at the beginning of the Beta City list and Beirut is at the end, that does NOT classify Bangalore higher than Beirut. Both cities are ranked equally.

Please also note: the order in which cities are categorized (+/-) and listed in the categories are as they appear on the GaWC official ranking page

Many also need to realize that since the West is generally the center of global trade and economic growth, more Western cities will appear on the list and ranked accordingly. Simply because a city has major cultural significance to a local population or country, does not mean it is a major player in the global system. Cities such as Rome, Cologne, and Islamabad all represent portals in which the local populace interacts with the world.

Probably one of the most stupid articles on Misplaced Pages

Why are we using a ranking system that is not commonly used? Forget arguing whether it is arbitrary or not (you can apply criteria objectively, but who decides what is in the criteria?) - it is trivial and pompous as it is pointless.

Every time I go to a Misplaced Pages article about a city I roll my eyes whenever the introduction makes reference to this dim-witted ranking system, in between far more vital facts about its population, history etc.

San Jose

The list of Beta cities includes San Jose, which is a link to a disambiguation page. Is this intended to refer to the city in California? That the other most likely possibility, the city in Costa Rica, is already on the Gamma list suggests that it probably is, but the source was unclear. Egsan Bacon (talk) 20:42, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

The 2012 list is currently used and the source shows "San Jose (Ca)" below an unspecified "San Jose" which can only be Costa Rica. I have fixed the article. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:00, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
