I think that the New Global Cities in Latin America and Asia are a good thing. I am not sure why this is. I think it is because they are growing so fast and creating new jobs, which is very important for the people who live there.

The New Global Cities are also bringing a lot of money into their countries, which helps them to improve their economy. They will probably be able to buy more things with this money, like food and clothes, but they may also buy computers or other technology that can help them to work better and faster.
