dc.descriptionAbstract The future of world cities depends to a great extent on the response of public policies to the dynamics of urban growth and expansion.

Each world city integrates a larger regions of which it is the economic and financial capital. The world city hierarchy is not a stable equilibrium, and individual cities may rise or fall in their economic standing as "control centres" of global capital. How cities respond to these dynamics/challenges will to a significant extent determine their future in the next century. Six policy issues are discussed, including spatial organization; regional governance; the question of environmental and social sustainability; the social integration of migrant workers and their families; the new relations between state, economy, and civil society; and the formation of intercity networks. The essay concludes by proposing a strategic alliance among major cities on the Pacific Rim -an Asian league of cities- to promote these several purposes
