Developing Nations
There are 4 billion consumers living in developing nations and four out of five consumers now reside there, according to the U.S. Agency for International Development. Some of these countries have vast natural resources and raw materials that can be used to manufacturer consumer goods. Large urban areas have a vast population of consumers who can buy an sell these goods. These two market segments need each other if they are to survive in the next millennium.
Traditional companies large and small that presently conduct business in these Urban communities will no longer be able to take consumers for granted, they will have to reinvest in the community they service. However the community must develop a new type of economic leadership, that is capable of representing its collective interest abroad.
Global Cities, Inc. will give both business and consumers in large urban areas a chance to participate in new world economic which allows the to have greater control over their economic destiny. Enrolled cities are encouraged to band together and form an urban trading bloc. This trading bloc will allow them to use their collective buying power as leverage to attract jobs and other investment opportunities to their communities.
Globalizing cities will allow them to rebuild their manufacturing base by joining an existing worldwide trade system. This innovative system will allow people living in cities and communities to economically empower themselves, by trading and buying from each other.
