Hong Kong and Shanghai are one of the most important cities in China and even Asia. They are favoured places for regional headquarters, major financial centres, have a vibrant (Western) lifestyle and are embedded within a network of global flows of information and people. Therefore they can be called world cities. But are they really world cities? Are they megacities? Or global cities? What is the difference and what kind of responsibilities do they have?
