Question 1 • TX-World Geography Studies B-CR

Which of the following is not a reason why Shenzen, China, is considered an emerging global city?

Answer
A
It is growing in importance in its region.
B
It is located in a special economic zone, making it attractive to foreign investment.
C
It has good transportation and manufacturing centers.
D
Its economic growth is declining.

Explanation

An emerging global city is generally becoming more important economically and regionally, often because it attracts investment and has strong transportation and manufacturing infrastructure. Shenzhen’s special economic zone helped draw foreign investment, while its regional importance and facilities support its growth. Declining economic growth is not a reason it is considered an emerging global city, so the best answer is “Its economic growth is declining.”
