The biggest cities already benefit enormously from the concentration of government services, as well as the presence of headquarters jobs that are supported from national and international revenue sources. Most cities are also not so lucky to be sitting atop a huge store of natural resources. They draw the best and the brightest from the surrounding countryside and from secondary cities. Of course these big cities disproportionately create wealth. But they also benefit in the form of many symbionic relationships with smaller cities and the hinterlands. Just saying.
