Where the ATL fits as a world city (Atlanta, Rome: fit in, cities)

Here's how JLL's Typology of World Cities places the ATL.

National Growth Engine sounds just fine to me.

List look pretty accurate to me. This shows that there isn’t one type of world city, but that there are multiple world cities, each with their own contributions to the global economy.

And it’s hilarious that 3 of the 4 peas in a pod are in one group. I’ve tried to find the 4th pea, but couldn’t. Where is I‎t?

Silicon Valley is not a city.

Assuming you mean Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston, who's the 4th? Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix?

Am I overlooking Miami?

Edit: yes I did. Thought it'd be grouped with Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta.

This graphic confuses me a little. Are National Growth Engines and Hybrids neither New World Cities or Emerging World Cities?

I think that's fair. It hasn't grown the same way the other three does, but it does hold huge influence over the Caribbean and a chunk of Latin America.

The hybrids are a little of both but the report doesn't say anything about how National Growth Engines fit into the New World Cities or Emerging World Cities models. I'm guessing it's something of a cross of both as well.

Emerging world cities side is a mess. Why separate those from "new world cities".

Problems:

- Monterrey is a massive national growth engine. Way moreso than ATL/DAL/HOU are in the US. I can't think of a secondary city anywhere in the world that drives a nation's economy like Monterrey does (besides San Pedro Sula but that's not a world city at all)
- Rio de Janeiro is a huge lifestyle world city. No doubt about it.
- Bucharest/Budapest over Athens/St Petersburg/Bogota is lol
- There's a city called Rome and it's a pretty big deal
- Cairo needs to fit somewhere in here. It has lost a lot of standing, but has 20 million freaking people and an economy roughly the size of Mumbai's.
- If Miami is so prominent, so must Marseilles be. It serves a very similar role to Africa that Miami serves to Latin America, and is a very large city to boot.
