no, really, it's not. Outside of politics, it doesn't hold a candle to NYC or London in economics or influence in the world.

I voted for NYC, as did most people. However, if this poll was done 50 years ago I bet Paris or London would have came in 1st. The international language of business and politics used to be French, now it's English.

NYC already is home of the UN, which pretty much answers this question definitively, without any further need for discussion.

Except we are talking politics so the infrastructure is set up in DC, as they are the capitol of the worlds only superpower. Now if we were talking financial center of the world I would agree with NYC.

But there is always Pueblo! Just a joke.......

Since China is currently bankrolling the "world's only super-power," what does that make them? The super-duper-power?
