The development of modern world primarily began with the industrial era which led to the emergence of industrial and economic centers of growth across the continents of North America and Europe.The next two centuries proved to be an era of global transition brought about by unprecedented economic and technological advancement.

In the latter half of the 20th century, the concept of world cities was introduced, which recognized a few cities from around the world for their immense influence on the global affairs resulting from their strategic importance.

There have been developed methods for evaluating the magnitude of importance a globalcity commands as based on a variety of criteria like global familiarity of thecity without direct reference to the political subdivisions.

Another such criterion is the presence of international bodies of strategic significance, as for instance, the New York City is home to the United Nation’s headquarters which exercises direct influence on world affairs.
