Most megacities (more than 5 million inhabitants) are located in developing countries and a number of them have a weak global economic role, if any. Most global cities are in the developed countries and they are not always very large city. There is a form of divergence between the size of the cities and their economic role in the global economy. This paper proposes some avenues for understanding this mega-global divergence.
