The GAWC Ranking is the most misinterpreted ranking of all city surveys.
Yet it is one of the most cited. The reason is the Alpha-Beta-Gamma labeling.
It pretends importance. But the used methodology mirrors only a fraction of a city´s status.
Its like ranking famous actors by measuring only the foot length.
(BTW, I hope all readers here know that the UK is the source of most city ranking annually.
The majority of the rankings are meant as marketing tools in order to promote UK based cities internationally )
