Forbes magazine recently announced the world's most influential cities. Topping the list was London, followed by New York and then Paris. They graded 58 leading metropolitan areas in eight categories: the amount of
foreign direct investment they have attracted; the concentration of
corporate headquarters; how many particular business niches they
dominate; air connectivity (ease of travel to other global cities);
strength of producer services; financial services; technology and media
power; and racial diversity.
It's interesting to see what makes a city influential these days, as it is much more based around inter-connectivity, trade, and business. The top three cities are all extremely intricate places that have been around for hundreds of years. In addition, they all have excellent transportation systems that make it easy for citizens to stay connected regardless of how much money they have. It's interesting to see that this in turn helps the city become globally connected as well.
Here are a few pictures of the amazing cities that make up the top 3 most influential cities.
