The race for rankings seems to be common to all, and even the Nice's Australians are often red-faced for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, who is the most attractive, and who is the most international.
Don't even fight now! Here comes the ranking of authority!
Sydney ranked 10th out of 361 world cities in the 2018 ranking of the world's urban system, according to GaWC, a globalization and world city research group.
GaWC's ranking of world-class cities is the most authoritative ranking of the world's first, second, third and fourth-tier cities. This is a research network formed spontaneously by Europe and America scholars, which can be said to be purely academic research, and the ranking is relatively objective. Be free from other factors.
Do not know the situation of friends, after reading this article you will know that the city you live in is at several levels!
The Research Group on Globalization and World-class cities and the Network (Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network, (GaWC) divide the world's cities into four major levels-Alpha (first-tier city,), Beta (, second-tier city,), Gamma (, third-tier city). Sufficiency (self-sufficient city, can also be understood as a fourth-tier city).
And each large level is distinguished between multiple subgrades with a plus and minus sign. Within each file, it is divided into the highest level, and the second grade, none, and-for example, Alpha is the first-tier city, and Alpha is the first-grade second-tier city.
In the 2018 ranking, there were only two top-tier Alpha-rated cities, London and New York;, and seven top-tier Alpha cities: Singapore, Hong Kong, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Dubai and Shanghai.

The Globalization and World-Class cities Research Group and Network (Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network,GaWC), using the University of Loughborough as base, tries to define and classify world-class cities.
In 1999, GaWC released the first system, the authoritative ranking of the world's urban systems, and then basically released the latest ranking in 2-4 years.
GaWC ranked the world's cities according to the distribution of the six "Advanced producer Services institutions" in the world's major cities. These include: banking, insurance, law, consulting management, advertising and accounting, focusing on the city's leading role and driving power in global activity. In other words, the more international institutions in these industries are distributed among cities, the higher the rating, the higher the scores of cities, and the more GaWC considers them to be influential world cities.
