"A panel of Time Out experts selected 75 cities to celebrate in the book 'The World's Greatest Cities' according to six criteria: Architecture, Arts & Culture, Buzz, Food & Drink, Quality of Life and World Status. In conjunction with our local correspondents, the panel then awarded the cities scores in each category and totalled them up for an overall ranking. The results are both fascinating and often surprising.
But now we want to know, which city, or cities, do you consider to be the greatest in the world and why?

Interesting link but I don't see how it makes Rogers Centre more iconic than Fenway. More people check into Facebook from Rogers because it is a major multi-functional facility: baseball, football, concerts, wrestling, monster trucks, etc. Most of its patrons are from the GTA or southern Ontario. Fenway is only used for baseball.
Has nothing to do with the iconic nature or global renown of either place.
Toronto doesn't excel at displaying the impressive history of the city... Like when the Americans invaded York in the War of 1812 -up to that point in history the largest explosion ever occurred in Fort York due to ammunitions explosion that decimated a good contingent of the invading American force - and the very reason for the British to light up the 'White House' in retaliation... A nice juicy story that nobody knows about.
You are right. And it is not just Toronto that does not do this, but Canada in general.
hmmmm a panel of 'Time Out' experts lol... I dunno.
