The Global Cities, a combined study performed by A.T. Kearney and The Chicago Council on Global Affairs calculated global engagement of cities across five dimensions: business movement, human capital, information exchange, civilizing experience, and political rendezvous.

No 1: Chinese

'What has become obvious over the past few decades with the rise of global cities is that our geo-political future is not going to be strong-minded by the G2 combo of the US and China. It will be determined in good part through 20 or so tactical worldwide urban networks,' the report says.

No 11: Taipei

Taipei is among the world's high-potential up-and-coming cities.

No 12: Dhaka
