![]() ![]() ![]() Seattle (Beta-) - Seattle is booming and has Microsoft and Amazon in its backyard, think it deserves to be alongside Philly, Denver, Calgary. I think it's a cut above Dallas, Atlanta and Vancouver. And a rank above Seattle and Detroit.īoston (Beta+) - Boston is an Alpha- world city, I think it fits in well with the other cities in that grouping. ![]() but that would put them on the same sphere as LA andĬalgary (Beta) - Calgary punches well above its weight often but I think it's just overmatched in a grouping with Philly and Denver. Maybe my real gripe is that DC and SF are too low. Houston (Alpha-) - Is this because it gets a ton of connecting flights? Ranked alongside SF, DC, kind of silly. Miami (Alpha) - shouldn't be a class above DC and SF even if there is a strong Latin presence. I only am familiar with NA cities, but having a scan my gut based on my understanding of cities' wealth and general prominence and importance: I doubt CD would be against a Wikipedia link: I am not 100 sure about this, but I do not think that Chicago's connections with New York is counting as much as say Belgrade's with Budapest because the last two are in two separate countries and thus are "international". may be underrated because they may be considered internal rather then external. Luxembourg is a perfect example of this, basically ALL of Luxembourg city connections are going to be international since the Grand Duchy is so small.Īt the same time, city connections in large nations like the United States, China, Russia, India, Canada, Australia, Brazil, etc. If so, measuring city's by International connections may favor cities in smaller countries, especially cities in smaller countries that are right next to each other like in the European Union. I could be wrong but I believe that in the past, GAWC basically measured a city's international connections? What cities do you think are being ranked too high or too low? In my opinion, Osaka, Berlin, and Rio de Janeiro are way too low. I would post the link, but CD forum does not allow it. ![]()
