Default What Makes a City Great?
Alright, what makes a city great? I am talking about general attributes that makes one city better than another.

Here is my criteria:

Economic Strength
Interesting Neighborhoods
Unique Cultural Attitude
History (although maybe you could add that into the former)
Public Transportation System
Natural Beauty

What makes a city better? I don't think any one city is better than the other. Everyone has there own top favorite, and to them no other city or town can compare. Now better big cities are dependant on too many things to list.

I don't think I've ever heard of a downtown that wasn't walkable.

For most Canadians, any city with palm trees outdoors is great.

I think Vancouver B.C. has some small ones and it's the envy of our nation.

I love Vancouver. One of my favorite cities in the world. Almost always ranked as one of the most desirable places to live.
