Abstract

Trying to explain how a city the size of Hong Kong has achieved 'global' status is a task that deserves some credit. The former British colony, which the literary topic has placed so many times "at the crossroads of East and West, is the result of a complex historical situation, but which has resulted in the brilliant development of one of the capitals of the world.A capital that, according to a somewhat generalized perception, is a contemporary and sophisticated city. But to what extent is Hong Kong a global city and what process has led it to become one of the few that exist?
