post if you think that asian cities, european cities.etc. are better than North american cities. vote, and feel free to say any city is better, if i didn't put it on there. put whatever city you like.

in what respect-this seems to be hugely a matter of opinion.

[Jake1256]

well then post arguments

In what sense? I mean what lines are we talking about when comparing American cities vs the ones in the East?

[dullnboring]

Yeah, this is a very broad topic. I'll try to offer a little contribution though.

In general, I feel European and some select East Asian cities (mostly in Japan) better integrate public transportation into their cities, and they are also far more pedestrian and bike-friendly. I also feel that a good number of cities in Europe and the Middle East preserve their history more than those cities in the U.S. They tend to build up on what they have rather than tear it down and putting something in it's place as seems to be the trend in the U.S., Latin America, Japan, Dubai, etc.

how about skylines and attractions, and resturaunts, stuff like that.

American cities are pretty much better in everything, lol.

What kind of weird poll is this? Has the OP traveled to many of these places?

It's, " Do cities in Japan, China, etc., out-perform American cities in various criteria that can be utilized for sessions of, sometimes, heated discussion? " Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo come to mind. All are ancient in ways we'll never understand. Shanghai has always been rather large, Beijing is what I would just consider a communist capital. Still, it's steeped in history and culture, of course, but Tokyo is the world's one true city-state. Such hugh influence over it's region and, with 35 mil by 2018, that's hard to ignore. Please be more specific, and realize, generally, if you're gonna move out of the states, you might be screaming to get back in. This is still where it's at.

I just want to see if people think that their city could be inferior to a asian one. like NYC and Tokyo. which one is better? like things to do, architecture.
