My impression is that the term has been hijacked by the left. Seems as if those cities adhering to liberal values and practices the best get the label of "World Class". But if you are market driven then you get terms like "sprawl" and "over-developed" and any other denigrating terms.
Oh Jesus. Turn down the AM radio and grow up.

Care to explain those "liberal values" so we can know what you're talking about?

No, he's right... progressivism and liberal values like diversity and altruism are critical to cities. Large communities rely on shared resources and don't function very well with more conservative values (segregation, classism, rational self-interest, etc).
