The 150 richest cities in the world by GDP in 2020

11 March 2007: The tables provide GDP figures for cities and their surrounding urban areas in 2020. Most such agglomerations are economically, socially and culturally dominated by one city at their centre. Occasionally however, several cities of similar status and their suburbs make up an urban area. The GDP figures are estimated and expressed in US$, using purchasing power parity exchange rates. The estimates are based on PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates and projections as well as UN urban agglomeration definitions and population estimates. The research was carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
