I've been saying this for years but North America's top 11 are a lock. Seems every creditable researcher can verify that. You can slice and dice them and order them anyway you want but in the end it will all come down to NYC, L.A., Mexico City, Chicago, SF, D.C., Toronto, Boston, Houston, Dallas, and Miami. Atlanta just missing it barely.

While I recognize the credibility and thorough research on behalf of the The Economist, I still have to call into question any prognostications that look 12 years out. I think we're in for a very unpredictable next decade economically. I'm not necessarily saying that these projections are incorrect, but in all likelihood there is just as much of a chance that they could be wrong.
If anything, I think infrastructure is going to be a huge theme over this next decade. If the US cannot get its act together on improving its transportation infrastructure, then you can guarantee that you will see competitiveness decline across America.
