By 2025, 136 new cities are expected to enter the top 600, all of them from the developing world and overwhelmingly-100 new cities-from China. The 220 largest cities in developing-regions contributed another 10 percent.īut by 2025, one-third of these developed-market cities will no longer make the top 600 and one out of every 20 cities in emerging-markets is likely to see its rank drop out of the top 600. Half of global GDP in 2007 came from 380 cities in developed-regions, with more than 20 percent of global GDP coming from 190 North American cities alone. Today, major urban areas in developed-regions are, without doubt, economic giants. Over the next 15 years, the center of gravity of the urban world will move south and, even more decisively, east. While 600 cities will continue to account for the same share of global GDP in 2025, this group of 600 will have a very different membership. Today only 600 urban centers generate about 60 percent of global GDP.
