In The Global City, Saskia Sassen examines how New York, London, and Tokyo evolved into central hubs of the global economy, undergoing significant and parallel transformations in the process. She introduces the concept of 'global cities' to describe urban centers that command and coordinate international economic activities, highlighting their role in shaping global networks. This edition includes updated data and discussions on globalization trends since the book's original publication in 1991.
