It tells you the criteria, it's based on economic, political, cultutal and infrastructural criteria, which seems fairly broad to me.

Why are there "tiers" ? What's that supposed to mean? I know what it means, but seeing some of those cities placed in tier 1 and 2 makes me wonder..so it got to be something else.
Amsterdam is in 3 and 4, by the way.


In alphabetical order:

Amsterdam
Berlin
London
Los Angeles
New York
Paris
Washington DC

heres my opinion. I put the ones I think in order. If theyre left out it just means I don't think they're on the same level as the others.

Tier 1:
New York
London
Toronto
Sydney

Tier 2:
Paris
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Vancouver
*Montreal kind of has its own vibe. not necessarily a multi cultured vibe, just kind of a french feel.

Tier 3:
Berlin
Dubai (will become more international as time goes by)
DC
Amsterdam
Chicago (big city but downtown is primarily americans)
Singapore (never been)

Tier 4:
Tokyo
Hong Kong
Rome
Amsterdam
Houston

I would also include Venice in this list. In Piazza San Marco we find people of the entire world - except italians.
