Description :
The AA. review some of the scholarship that emphasises large cities' roles as important modes of production, consumption, exchange and control at the global level. Linkages among these cities are likely to reveal the spatial organisation of the world-system. The AA. present a map of the current world city system based on their network analysis of recent air travel among many of the world's great cities.
