NYC and Shanghai - Both of them are the international financial centers of their respective countries with large communities of foreigners living in them.
You could also make the same comparison with San Francisco and Shanghai. World Financial Group is in San Francisco.
New York City-Hong Kong/Shanghai/Tokyo: Lots of very high density, plenty of skyscrapers for 3 out of 4 of them, although Tokyo has very high density it has many less skyscrapers than the other 3. Similar big city economies. Some similar cosmopolitan diversity, although not all of that is the same.
Chicago-Taipei/Seoul/Osaka/Shanghai: Same as the ones above but expressed a bit differently.
Singapore-Honolulu: Singapore is much more similar to Honolulu than Miami. Both have plenty of wealthy/middle class people, low amount of poverty, low crime rate, similar type of cosmopolitan diversity, connected but also detached from other places, both on islands. Miami is much more different than Singapore compared to Honolulu.
Denver-Sapporo: Cold snowy winters. Nearby mountains. Has some urban amenities and culture, but not nearly as much as the other places above but they are much less crowded and more laid back.
I wonder what Asian cities are the closest match to Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, Los Angeles, Houston, Minneapolis, Boston, and Philadelphia?
I actually made a comparison between Denver and Sapporo beforehand. Mine was a bit different though.
Quote:
Denver,CO - Sapporo, Japan: Both cities are home to a famous beer in their respective nations(Denver has Coors, Sapporo has Sapporo beer), snowy winters, located near mountains.
New York City - Tokyo, both coastal cities with maritime climate. Both largest in First World countries. Both technological hubs.
Makes perfect sense. Also expensive cities too.
Portland,OR - Khabarovsk,Russia, both cities are at the confluence of major rivers. Portland has some Russian influences with its sizeable Russian community, as well as some Asian influences.
New York City - Tokyo, both coastal cities with maritime climate. Both largest in First World countries. Both technological hubs.
Actually niether of them are maritime climates. Tokyo's is humid-subtropical (more like Atlanta or DC), while NYC is humid-subtropical. They have other similarities though, such as large skylines and being financial capitals.
NYC --> Tokyo
LA --> Seoul or Mumbai
Chicago --> Singapore
DC --> Beijing
San Francisco --> Hong Kong
