Ahhh now I get it. It's hilarious that a few posts back you carried on about sources for rankings being biased towards where the authors of said rankings lived.
New York has been ranked No. 1 four years in a row.
Yeah - it is the most globally connected city in the world for sure though London isn't terribly far behind now. The rankings usually go 1. NYC 6. Los Angeles and 7. Chicago for North American cities (though in 2010, Chicago and LA switched places).
After looking at these I understand why Miami would be ranked high. The things I put in bold and green is where I feel Miami does very well. Red Miami does not do well.
I can see why Miami made the list. It does pretty well in a lot of the topics.
I stand corrected. I overlooked air freight and a few other things.
Also sincerely apologize, looking back at my commentary, it seems disparaging to Southeast Florida. I am not one of those types of posters.

As it should be.
AT Kearney is at least trending correctly, for once.
In their previous rankings, Chicago ranked far higher than it should, and now we might have an idea why.
They might be deliberately leaving out metro areas to push their hometown higher, which may have staved off LA in the past, but not anymore. LAs economy is too strong and they are too weak right now.

Believe what you want.
By the way, this is from page 14 of the pdf: "A.T. Kearney’s Global cities Index Ranks metropolitan areas according to 26 metrics across five dimensions."

Hmmmm, that's interesting. Missed that - but I don't know why they'd be mentioning cities and then talking about their proximity to surrounding areas. Weird
