One criteria is overall growth of population and industry, jobs, commercial, residential etc. The other criteria is urban growth via development such as sprawl, skyline etc. Any city is fair game, must be North America thank you.
Id like to say Houston, but weve got to solve the flooding issue. Our new county attorney has been putting a lot of resources into it and that is awesome, but weve got a ways to go. Climate change isnt helping on that front either.
If we create more sources of drainage and strengthen the ones we have, our possibilities would be greater.
Problem with Atlanta is that we aren't building the infrastructure to support this growth. Unless something changes in the future we're going to be in trouble.
Philly and Baltimore. In the northeast corridor.. and they have bottomed out. They have the most growth potential to become like a DC and Boston type growth we saw this decade.

I would say Philadelphia is well past its bottom out period and fully into the growth / revitalization period, and I do think it has the most potential of any major Northeastern city, whether the potential gets realized is the question.
I would say its chugging along, but not booming, except in the main downtown and University City areas.

I'd second this.
Philly is definitely much further along the growth/gentrification curb and I expect this decade to be massively transformative for the city, and I absolutely look forward to it..
Baltimore has all the same geo-political, economic and location advantages Philly does. Once it gets out it's own way will it follow suit of it's larger "siblings."
