Abstract: Emerging economies generate impulses for the Global South. World cities in these countries integrate peripheral places into global commodity chains, enabling the peripheral places to develop economically. In this article the concept of ‘gateway cities’ is drafted and exemplified by Cape Town and the oil and gas sector. The starting point of my explanation of the role of gateway cities is the three Ds – density, distance and division – from the 2009 World Development Report and linkages.
