Cities With Highest Prediction to Boom Next by 2030 (state, better, place)

[jjbradleynyc]

Based on the criteria below, which cities will most likely "boom" next in the US, by 2030?

*Fast economic growth and job growth
*Strong population expansion and growth in the city and metro area
*Swift high rise and skyscraper growth


In other words, which of these cities below and in the poll, will* "boom" similarly like Charlotte, Austin and Nashville have most recently, in the past couple of decades?

Raleigh, NC
Tampa, FL
Jacksonville, FL
Louisville, KY
Richmond, VA
Memphis, TN
Oklahoma City, OK
Salt Lake City, UT
Birmingham, AL
San Antonio, TX
Greenville, SC
Other city?

Raleigh basically has met two of the three criteria already (it’s ahead of Nashville in both). And downtown has been ramping up density, so I guess it will likely begin to look more like the others.

Raleigh and slc

I’d be interested to see how Jacksonville responds to Florida’s growth. It’s the forgotten metro it seems like, but the downtown is ripe for revitalization.

I would've assumed Salt Lake City, Tampa and Raleigh would already be in the "boom" status.

Jacksonville, Oklahoma City and Greenville are in the "early stage" parts. Of the three, I'm least sure of Jacksonville's long term prospects based on the transient core nature of the city itself (in Florida and a military town) without a strong identity on the national stage.

I find Richmond, Birmingham, San Antonio and Louisville to be dark horses, but not outside the realm of possibility. While I think all four would like a bit more growth, I don't think any of them want the full unbridled growth of Atlanta, and would take steps of some sorts to have some better planning/preservation. Birmingham would have the hardest time, due to a lot of state and some city stigma it has, but it's rise would probably be coincide with major rises for Huntsville and Mobile, too.

Memphis, I would be highly pleasantly surprised to see turn it around.

Raleigh, Salt Lake City, and Tampa.
Maybe Greenville.




I think Charleston and Huntsville should be on the poll. And maybe Orlando since you included Tampa.

Tampa very clearly already is; all the new construction in St. Pete + Tampa is getting impressive. The only place I’ve seen faster tower construction is Miami in the late 2000s. Whether it continues or not is anyone’s guess since it’s not cheap anymore. Denver is more or less the same story, but maybe growing slightly less quickly.

I’m wondering if some cheaper metros see growth acceleration, like Greenville and Huntsville for example.

Omaha, NE…

Raleigh, SLC and Greenville of that list

Perhaps Huntsvillle Alabama, due to its high federal government footprint, in the intelligence department especially, and with looming wars overseas. There's going to have to be an increased R&D on how to glean intel from foreign adversaries.
