Cities with highest and lowest per-capita GDP

In most countries around the globe, metropolitan areas generate the majority of economic activity. Metropolitan areas are regional economies defined by cities and their surrounding, economically integrated areas.
For example, the largest 100 metropolitan areas in the United States produce three-quarters of the nation's Gross Domestic Product. In other countries with less urban diversity, one or two metropolitan areas generate most of the national product.
Let's take a look at highest and lowest per-capita GDP in largest metropolitan economies around the world.
