Was there a more in-depth follow up to that blurb from Sassen? I'm interested in reading it. I'm also interested in not talking about the Bay Area anymore because it's not mentioned in the article and there are just oodles of topic dedicated to comparing the Bay Area with other cities and I don't see why we have to have that party raging here, too.

In fact, that's what is absolutely missing from this thread--actual content from the report in question.
Instead the creator immediately following this first post follows up in the third post with a comment about CSA GDPs when this ranking has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.

And here we are.
Yea, so you guys go do that over private messages or chatroulette or something.
I know this is just the US forum, but did anyone find some of the foreign cities listed in the whitesheet surprising? Why list Nairobi instead of Addis Ababa, Lagos, or Joburg? And why is it grouped with Vienna and Geneva on this with the linking explained along social justice and global commons? Then again, I have no idea what is going in Nairobi.
I also find it interesting that the whitesheet was on the rise of urban geopolitics and groups of cities/metros working as their own global entity but with several of these vectors mentioned including national capitals which means they are still in some sense swinging the might of the nation around and not just the city.
The third busiest airport in the world is flyover country? Sounds like anything but to me.
Space, space, space, Chicago's airport is busy because its a hub for United, the worlds largest airliner, from those tens of millions there are very few that walk the streets of Chicago outside the airport.
btw, Chicago has a great airport but it could be better. It only services 4 continents, that's great but it falls behind NYC, LA, DC, Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta.

The fact that this thread was hijacked by their boosters is proof enough of their mentality and how annoying it is. It has literally zero to do with the OP.
