Secondary data sources have been considered in this study by following two strategies: a desktop study for theoretical context and an application context based on different global indexes.

On the other hand, the global city concept is strongly connected with fundamental shifts from traditional government structures to a modern governance mode.

The right to the city is one of the indicators is represented with the lens of it. Today, the city's values, representation, and reinforcing through the participatory process are turned into an eye by the principle of "governance". On this basis, various dimensions of urban governance in contemporary Europe are analysed as expressions of a politics of scale that is emerging at the geographical interface between processes of urban restructuring and state territorial restructuring.

The territorial organisation of contemporary urban spaces and state institutions must be viewed at once as a presupposition, a medium and an outcome of this highly conictual dynamic of global spatial restructuring. Globalisation is conceived here as a reterritorialisation of both socioeconomic and political-institutional spaces that unfolds simultaneously upon multiple, superimposed geographical scales. This article argues that processes of reterritorialisation- the re- con® guration and re-scaling of forms of territorial organisation such as cities and states- constitute an intrinsic moment of the current round of globalisation.

How- ever, such arguments neglect the relatively ® xed and immobile forms of territorial organisation upon which the current round of globalisation is premised, such as urban-regional agglomera- tions and territorial states. In the rapidly growing literatures on globalisation, many authors have emphasised the apparent disembedding of social relations from their local-territorial pre-conditions.
