Seeing Boston and SF, the leaders of innovation in America, drop that sharply, is really concerning.

Top city for what?? These ratings are utterly pointless.
For example, you could not pay me high enough to live in a good chunk of that list.
Toronto ahead of Moscow?? Ahahahahaha

"Global" is a horribly vague word. Are they calling global city with most rails, atms, btms, flights, isps, central geo location or what not. From what I read the authors like Canada or are from Canada.

^ "Toronto jumped an impressive 9 places to the number 2 spot, driven by a large upswing in innovation and continued strong governance."



This seems like the biggest change in the list, as another user noted esp. given how San Francisco and Boston seem to sink you'd think Canada and America move in opposing directions.

I don’t get it. For most of us a Global City is entirely irrelevant to where we live.
