Highlights
The last few decades have seen the world becoming more urbanised (Giap-Thye-Aw, 2014)
The main objective of this paper is to collect the most common global and world city rankings and examine, where the Austrian capital is positioned yearly in them and answer the following question: can we consider Vienna as a real world or global city, and if so, what kind of economic, social, environmental or other factors are able to strengthen its position at global scale? Based on this investigation, the global position of Vienna can be described
The several city rankings are able to highlight on strengths and weaknesses of a given city and can give a picture about the development path of cities if they are published year by year
Summary
The last few decades have seen the world becoming more urbanised (Giap-Thye-Aw, 2014). The importance of national economies is (relatively) decreasing and the economic role of regions and cities seems to grow (Lengyel, 2009). They are facing strong competition for investors, tourists, qualified labour or international events over the last decades (Begg, 1999) and many economic, global players need help to compare the cities from different point of view. The comparison of cities can support investors in their choice of location and it can be an important guide for the cities to judge their strengths and weaknesses, to define their goals and strategies for future development and better positioning in the urban system (Giffinger-Haindl, 2009).
