World cities have become the command centres of the ever increasingly globalised world economy. These cities are highly equipped with the most advanced communication technologies and consequently play the lead role in organising the concentration and accumulation of world capital, as well as being the preferred location for specialised service firms such as accounting and law. This can be observed through the large number of TNC headquarters located in world cities. Consequently, world cities have gained a large amount of economic authority. Furthermore, due to their ability to generate and spread ideas, values and influence specific cultural processes world cities have also gained cultural authority. This is through having strong media outlets and many tourist attractions. New York and London are prime examples of world cities with economic and cultural authority.…
In 1825 Charles G. Haines just began to serve as Governor George De Witt Clinton's secretary, here he wrote about the mayors views on the Erie Canal project.

I will investigate if hydraulic action has an impact. I will study about vertical erosion, lateral erosion, Cross profile and hydraulic action.…

1) The first evidence Wegner was able to find was the remarkable number of close affinities of geologic features on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. He found the continental margins of the subequatorial portions of Africa and South America fit together with jigsaw-on-like precision. He also determined that the petrologic records on both sides of the Atlantic show many distributions- such as ancient coal deposits-that would be continuous if the ocean did not intervene.…

Chinatown has many cultural traits that set it apart from neighboring areas; however there is always a looming threat of internal and external threats to its culture.…
