It means looking even moreso to peer cities around the world, rather than their own hinterlands.
This is the world today. A New Yorker or Londoner (myself included) has more friends and contacts in Shanghai or Buenos Aires than in Illinois (outside of Chicago) or the north of England.
The world is increasingly a network of cities, not countries. Outside of cities, and I mean major cities, nothing of consequence really happens.
