The competitive power of the cities emerging within the scale of the accumulation economy is one of the research topics that raise curiosity. This study will focus on the importance, advantages and disadvantages of urbanization economies as the key to competitive cities within the statistical accumulation economies, after examining the urbanization economies that strengthen competition by specializing and the urbanization economies that strengthen competition by sharing. It will then be explained by urban examples from the countries of the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) where the accumulated economies go. In the course of the study, the current two-dimensions of the competitive cities are examined in the framework of accumulating economies. Specifically, with the Kovid-19 pandemic, the topic of how the accumulation economies and the competitive power of cities are changing, how cities will evolve. It seems clear that the results of the study will increase the speed of digitalization. At this point, we are confronted with a new dimension in theory of proximity, and it is seen to be increasing. In the future, cities will become more and more smart cities to protect their competitive forces. The Kovid-19 pandemic guides cities to create smart work systems. Thus, the competitive cities in the global economy will turn the current conditions into an opportunity for change and maintain their competitive forces.
