Title: Berlin: towards a Global City?
Description: This paper assesses Berlin's prospects of developing a growth trajectory comparable to Paris or London. Using several dimensions to construct an evaluation framework, the author considers that Berlin is some distance from the prospect of achieving the global city vision which some who discuss the city aspire to. The author concludes by challenging the notion that big cities grow along a single trajectory, arguing that there may be several possible trajectories for Europe's metropolises.
