Abstract

This chapter revolves around what can be considered as an emerging trend in the Philippines, where the cityhood concept—in this case “global city”—is utilised as a place branding and urban re/development strategy for urban spaces that are not officially designated as cities. This chapter looks at a specific urban space called Bonifacio Global City as a case study in terms of how its naming or place branding strategy has overshadowed the real city that it is part of and argues that its effective city branding application has created an image and public perception that it is indeed a city.
