Abstract
Cities are centres of innovation and business. They are categorised by their role at the regional level/ global stage. Global cities enjoy a significant advantage over other cities and are recognised as major hubs within the world economic system. In the post COVID-19 scenario, the more resilient cities have managed to retain their ranking.

Indian cities are destined to host a major chunk of the urban population; they must sustain their growth to yield a quality of living in the long term. Given its potential, Hyderabad may be transformed into a global city with investments in key areas. The solutions rest in the ability of a city to create a sound economic base, augment infrastructure, create a business environment, attract investments, and foster meaningful linkages with the rest of the world. There is a need to take up the implementation of quality visible projects on a priority basis towards transforming Hyderabad into a global city.
