Most significant global cities: Charlotte will be in this league. (Washington: business, population)

[Leopoldbloom]

Given Charlotte’s growth, I suspect that it will be on this list within five years. Here’s the 2018 list.

Five years?! Tell me you're not serious?

[Leopoldbloom]

Maybe less. Thanks

[BC1960]

LOL. Delusional.

When you go to the link provided it says, Not found. The requested resource could not be found.

It would be interesting to see what the criteria for making this list is to see where the OP may be coming from. If it is tied to banking it would perhaps be less of a stretch than if it is speaking of globally recognized cities in general.

[Leopoldbloom]

It is based on the cities’ influence on business, culture, political influence, etc.

Maybe on the top 20 BBQ list.

Half of those are capital cities... some have populations in the tens of millions... I don't see how Charlotte compares to that.

Out of all the people I meet in my travels, about half have even heard of Charlotte - out of the ones that have, they usually think it is a much smaller place.

Charlotte is not like any of those cities. We won' t make that list for 50 years, if Charlotte ever does.
