You probably have heard of the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, who classify cities according to their "power" in the global economy.

It's a relatively good way to see which areas will tend to always develop better that the surrounding area. However, such things can be majorly influenced by people - politics, reducing cost of doing business etc etc.

What I'm looking to find out is - when such "subjective" factors are ruled out, which cities would become dominant? You know, like London, New York, Hong Kong etc...
