Berlin is the poorest and less productive big city in Germany.
Its GDP per capita is lower than the average the country, a rare fact. Even lower than the capital of southern european countries like Italy or Spain.
This shows how decentralized is Germany. Cities like Munich or Frankfurt have very high GDP per capita.
Detroit is not as bad as people think, the city has plenty of highly productive suburbs and it houses the HQ of some of the larger car brands in the world.
Its GDP per capita is lower than the average of the United States.

Naples GDP per capita could be a bit larger because you have use a very broad definition for the metropolitan area of this city.
The real size of Naples metropolitan area is more like 4 million inhabitants.
Anyway it is still among the poorest big cities in Western Europe.
