Thats nice and all but again why do so many people visit chicago...i am so not understanding....there is nothing international about chicago lol well except for the scores of foreigners that visit this boring farm town each year
Chicago now has 7 of the 16 tallest skyscrapers in the country not including two under construction.. It currently has the tallest building in the country and will be topped by the Chicago Spire in 2012 which will be the second tallest building in the world.
Wow, 7 out of 16 tallest building and nothing in them. Not a single major global corporation headquartered in Chicago besides Boening. Sears tower being sold and renamed Willis Tower. How significant it sounds...
Chicago Spire? That's a goner. It's completion will most likely coincide with the opening ceremony of Chicago Olympic Games
To upper-hand's defence most rankings place LA over Chicago, like this one, backed by no other but Chicago Council on Global Affairs
That's nice that you found a chart (which you needlessly posted half a dozen times), but a global cities ranking does not address the opinionated question of "which U.S. city is most important?"
And Trump himself just built a taller building in Chicago than any he ever built in NYC the past 35 years
Because New York unlike Chicago does not have to prove anything to anybody. Who cares if the tallest building is here? We leave that to the aspiring "global centers" like Shanghai, Dubai or Chicago.

Yes, it does. It puts New York at the top, then lists LA and only then Chicago. Read it an weep
