- Core: Wealthy, developed regions with advanced technology, strong infrastructure, and high incomes. Example: New York City.
- Semi-Periphery: Moderately developed regions with growing industry and economy. Examples: Brazil, Mexico.
- Periphery: Less developed regions with limited industry and infrastructure. Examples: Ethiopia, Haiti.
