Saskia Sassen (1991)'s The Global City identified in
four ways:
• Key locations for finance and specialized service
firms, which have replaced manufacturing as the
leading economic services;
• Sites of production, including the production if
innovations, in leading industries;
• Highly cencentrated command points in the
organization of the world economy;
• Markets for the products and innovations

Globalization is spatial because it occurs in physical
