Singapore Formula 1 Race - Branding a City

The City of Singapore/State of Singapore is working very hard to brand itself as a Global City. In an effort to check off one more criteria in their list, (there is an actual report that outlines what is needed to be a global city) the city hosted the first Formula 1 nightrace.

Will Formula 1 and a casino make Singapore an Eastern Monoco? Will Banking make Singapore an Eastern London? Will Education and Art make Singapore an Eastern NYC? What will make Singapore a Global City? Can you force a city to be global? Is there a specific formula?

If there is, all Singapore needs to do is follow the safety car.
