In 2025, Tokyo and New York will still be the only two "super metropolitan areas" worldwide with a GDP exceeding $2 trillion, far ahead of other cities. According to Oxford Economics: In the Oxford Economics' "2025 Global City Index," although New York is ranked as the world's largest metropolitan economic body in the "Economy" category (which may be higher than Tokyo based on specific definitions), its overall ranking (including human capital, quality of life, etc.) also places New York first, with London and San Jose (Silicon Valley) in second and third place. This indicates that if only the core metropolitan area definition is considered, New York and Tokyo often interchange the top spot. #GlobalEconomy
