	World Heritage Report - Appendix C
		To be eligible for inclusion in the List, the spatial organization, structure, materials, forms and, where possible, functions of a group of buildings should essentially reflect the civilization or succession of civilizations which have prompted the nomination of the property.
		The inclusion of such landscapes on the World Heritage List is justifiable by virtue of the powerful religious, artistic or cultural associations of the natural element rather than material cultural evidence, which may be insignificant or even absent.
		The extent of a cultural landscape for inclusion on the World Heritage List is relative to its functionality and intelligibility.

	Operational Guidelines: Establishment of the World Heritage List
		The purpose of these tentative lists is to enable the Committee to evaluate within the widest possible context the "outstanding universal value" of each property nominated to the List.
		In nominating properties to the List, States Parties are invited to keep in mind the desirability of achieving a reasonable balance between the numbers of cultural heritage and natural heritage properties included in the World Heritage List.
		The World Heritage List should be as representative as possible of all cultural and natural properties which meet the Convention's requirement of outstanding universal value and the cultural and natural criteria and the conditions of authenticity or integrity adopted by the Committee (see paragraphs 24 to 44 above).

	Boston.com / Business / Despite tragedy, World Trade Center name is thriving globally
		From Boston to Basra, Iraq, of all places, the World Trade Center brand is proving more prestigious than poignant, denoting cachet instead of catastrophe, and surging as a symbol of economic achievement, not terrorism's triumph.
		The New York-based World Trade Center Association licenses the name for an initial fee of $200,000 plus $10,000 annually, not unlike hotel chains that sell the use of their brand and provide buyers with advertising and marketing help.
		Tozzoli said that certain tenants in two World Trade Center buildings he declines to name -- one on the West Coast and one in the Northeast -- asked their landlords to change the names of their office buildings.

	GaWC Research Bulletin 5
		This exercise is useful for presenting the state of play in defining world cities but most of all, it illustrates clearly the need for a systematic consideration of the question of world city status.
		In contrast to contextualising the formation of world city hierarchies within the new (spatial) international division of labour, a third approach has firmly associated the cities within the urban hierarchy with their propensity to engage with the internationalisation, concentration and intensity of producer services in the world economy.
		This list is very much as expected with the 3 leading cities of Pacific Asia, 5 cities in western Europe and 2 in the USA with San Francisco joining New York ahead of Chicago and Los Angeles.

	Workers World Dec. 12, 2002: Where Workers World stands on imperialism
		The imperialist metropolises have become more multi-national, with large-scale immigration from the oppressed countries, and it becomes clearer every day that super-exploitation in any part of the world drags down the workers everywhere.
		Workers World refuses to participate in or condone the demeaning and insulting attacks on Third World leaders that fill the pages of imperialist newspapers and journals.
		It will continue to spotlight the source of today's bloody conflicts around the world: the system of imperialism and the billionaire capitalist ruling class that has nothing to offer the world but a widening gap between rich and poor and an uncontrollable boom-bust cycle.

	Choike - On the World Charter of the Right to the City
		The idea to develop a World Charter of the Right to the City was first conceived at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre in 2000.
		The World Charter of the Right to the City is congruent with all inter-national human rights standards and recognizes the right to land, means of subsistence, work, health, education, culture, adequate housing, social protection, safety, a healthy environment, sanitation, public transportation, entertainment and information.
		As transnational corporations spread their operations around the world in search of a cheap and flexible labour force, the call for global labour rights becomes more urgent.

	Unlikely Boomtowns: The World's Hottest Cities - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com
		Between 2000 and 2015, the world's smallest cities (with under 500,000 people) will grow by 23 percent, while the next smallest (1 million to 5 million people) will grow by 27 percent.
		This trend is the result of seismic shifts, including the global real-estate bubble; increasing international migration; cheaper transport; new technologies, and the fact that the baby-boom generation is reaching retirement age.
		In the developed world, while none make the top 150, metropolises in the United States are growing much faster than those of Europe and Japan.

	Workers World March 12, 1998: UN role in Iraq crisis
		Had it gone ahead with bombing without a shred of world support, it would have faced an even bigger firestorm of protest in the Arab world and from the new anti-war movement at home.
		The vast technological, military-industrial complex that has enabled the U.S., British and French ruling classes to dominate the Arab world is based in large part on trillions of dollars in wealth plundered from the region.
		They built the Suez Canal, the railroads, the ports and the pipelines that were used to carry their wealth back to the imperialist metropolises-where it strengthened the world domination of the financiers, the industrialists and the oil barons.
