dno why ppl are like where are the europeans as if we were mad when london is #1 and paris is #3

Europe/talent always wins

wow if the internet says it, it must be true!!!!!

Ok, Chicago. I see you.

There's nothing biased about this. There's literally pages of research and all of the methods they've used available on their website

The fact that you think San Francisco being on the list is biased when it's literally the capital of the tech world right now

Glad to see so many slayful U.S. cities on the list

Did you not read the past few pages?

Many of thee cities in the US lead in major things. Most notably in finance, tech and science. It's obvious they would be highly notable. Even Boston which contains some of the worlds most elite universities like Harvard and MIT would gain huge importance because of scientific output.

You also have the realize many of these European countries are centralized to one main city. While the US is decentralized to many cities. While San Francisco leads in tech, NYC leads in finance.

America once again showing its leadership in the word

Lol

Europe is hardly centralised.

Just an example, Geneva? Well, maybe hosting the most international institutions in the world including UN and all its political influence, being one of the Worlds financial capitals, its cultural events, museums and historical sites, even its tech, innovation and science (being home of CERN ffs) isnt enough to even make it into the top 25, and not make the top 35 in the '08-'16 index, being overtaken by cities like Boston, Melbourne, Atlanta or Toronto? For real? Bye.

wow

umm and who are we supposed to believe over reputable sources??? you?

your ignorance was blatant as soon as you questioned san francisco's spot

U.S. cities slaying

Boston, Melbourne and Toronto are in fact important cities.

For example you list Geneva but New York already has it beat by those. Even having the headquarters of the United Nations.

And when I say centralized what I mean is. Many European countries have one major city and then secondary cities. The US has New York and Los Angles. While having San Francisco and Chicago. With Miami for example being considered the capital of Latin America.

Really I understand you strongly dislike the US. But you can't deny that it's cities being important in today's world reflects its stature as a superpower. 100 years ago this list would be dominated by the U.K. since it had many cities of world importance. The times change.
