In a recent issue of foreign policy magazine, Vancouver does not even make a list of the world's 60 Global Cities Index. http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/c...id=4509&page=1
I'm someone who loves this city, but has travelled and lived in enough places around the world to understand the city's advantages and disadvantages compared to other cities. |
Montreal didn't make it either, so Toronto is the real stuff...
Vancouver is not on par with the real world cities in terms of economy anyways. But in this corner of the universe, this city is the real stuff.
