- Abstract
The goal of the article is to explore modern trends and evaluate traits of stable economic development of global cities during the 2000-2017 period. The results of our study reject the hypothesis that innovation activity has a major impact on the economic growth of global cities. Job creation and unemployment reduction are two key factors behind the economic development of global cities, and innovation activity is in third place. By using the integral method we evaluated stability of economic development of 65 global cities during the 2000-2017 period and reached the following conclusions: - global cities of Alpha++, Alpha + and Alpha subgroups maintain steady growth; - global cities of Alpha-, Beta +, Beta-, Gamma, Gamma- and High Sufficiency subgroups have unstable and rapid economic growth. Warsaw, Krakow, and Wroclaw are rapidly developing global cities of Central and Eastern Europe with unstable economic development. The rapid economic growth of these cities attracts direct foreign investment, as well as creates an opportunity to reach a new higher level of economic development. However, these three cities overuse existing opportunities for economic development that results in unstable development. A lack of management of economic development can lead to “economic overheat” of these cities.
