The HIPP World Cities Index is an annual report published by the Hildom Institute for Public Policy at the University of Newcott in Cuthland-Waldrich. The HIPP Index classifies global cities in Gaia into four different tiers based on their socio-economic impact on global affairs. The Index was developed by Alwin Smythe in 2005 to encourage market liberalization and internationalism in Cuthland-Waldrich, which had long maintained heavy protectionist restrictions on foreign trade. It has since evolved into a widely recognized measure of globalization in Gaia, and a city's classification is considered to be an authoritative indicator of its global prominence.
Methodology
The Index is based off of 34 different metrics within five categories:
- Economics
- Cultural influence
- Livability
- Political power
- Innovation and research

Hubs
Hub cities set the tone for the entire global community. They serve as agenda-setters in international trade and diplomacy, and are at the forefront of technological advancements and cultural phenomena. These cities house the headquarters of major international corporations, key stock exchanges, global diplomatic centers, and major cultural institutions of global recognition.
Influencers
Influencers are international powerhouses which do not meet the global agenda-setting criteria of a Hub. Many of these cities serve as agenda-setters in a particular region of the world, and may act as "specialists" that are most prominent in one or several categories globally.
Contributors
Contributors are cities which serve as focal points for an entire region, and also exercise influence on a global scale. They are often major cultural and trade centers for a country or continent, and may house national or regional political institutions for minor powers.
Participants
Participant cities play a major role in the socio-economic affairs of a region, and link minor regions to the global community. They are recognized as actors in global affairs, but lack the influence of more powerful cities.
