Which City combination do you think is the most important in the world?

Shanghai + Hong Kong + Taipei + Beijing = 50 million pop

Tokyo + Seoul = 50 million

Singapore+Kuala Lumpur + Bangkok + Jakarta = 40 milion

New York + Toronto + Mexico City = 48 million

Sao Paulus + Buenos Aires + Santiago = 42 million

London + Paris + Berlin+ Rome + Moscow =50 million

New Delhi + Bombay + Dhaka + Islamabad = 48 million

pop = population

This combination is more important to the world in the coming years....

New Delhi + Bombay + Chennai (Madras)+ Kolkatta (Calcutta) = 50+ million

This combination is more important to the world in the coming years....

New Delhi + Bombay + Chennai (Madras)+ Kolkatta (Calcutta) = 50+ million
+ Bangalore

then you have to add 'Hyderabad' as well

then you have to add 'Hyderabad' as well
sure, why not

This is so easy.

Obviously it's London, New York, Tokyo and Paris.

London+Paris+Berlin+Rome+Moscow

London + Paris + Berlin+ Rome + Moscow =50 million

Oh, I misunderstood the question.

Okay then, from those choices it's:
London + Paris + Berlin+ Rome + Moscow

London + Paris + Berlin + Rome + Moscow

London + Paris + Berlin+ Rome + Moscow =50 million

this is SO easy: Las Vegas, Macau & Dubai

:bash:

No poll???

Anyway its probably London, Paris....

New York + Toronto + Mexico City = 48 million

London + Paris + Berlin+ Rome + Moscow

London + Paris + Berlin+ Rome + Moscow

I mean if these cities were obliterated that would be bye bye for virtually all the power, economically and politically, Europe has. North America could survive without New York, Toronto and Mexico City.

Not hard to answer:

NYC (top financial power)
+ Washington DC (top political power)
+ Los Angeles (top media power)
+ Boston (top brainpower and hi-tech, Harvard & MIT & Route 128)
+ San Francisco (top brainpower and hi-tech, Stanford & Silicon Valley)

Kill these cities and it's bye bye USA ...

London+Paris+Berlin+Rome+Moscow

you are funny. we are talking about whole world, not about any land somewhere beyond..

The USA, Japan, Russia, middle east, China and India are the most important areas no matter how you put the cities together. Europe is beautiful and interesting but politically they have managed to become irrelevant due to no strong positions on anything. None of the other areas have the money and population to exert much power. Of course a small group of terrorists with WMD can change the course of history and come from anywhere on the globe.

At least we still have Chicago, Detriot, and the other cities. :)

London + Paris + Berlin+ Rome + Moscow =50 million

3 of 5 permanent UN member capitals. 3 of possibly 8 nucleur powers.

Amoungst most historical cities in world.

Biggest powers of the EU (largest economic zone.

Largest area of land governed by respective capitals.

Possibly the largest amount of natural resources (not sure really)

Biggest in finance.

Good public transport

Good standard of living and wealth with Moscow prob being the loest of the list but still better than most on other lists.

NYC's unbelievable; the world's two largest stock exchanges, most fortune 2000 companies, EXTREMELY influential...but London and Paris together---too beautiful not to vote for.

Gouda,

When we poison the cheese almost the whole world will sit on the toilet for a day. :bleh:

Look child, I've got this news for you:

The US actually are a *big* chunk of the world, like it or not!

Chicago

after all, it's the capital of the Future(s)

Not hard to answer:

NYC (top financial power)
+ Washington DC (top political power)
+ Los Angeles (top media power)
+ Boston (top brainpower and hi-tech, Harvard & MIT & Route 128)

Aside from New York, I don't see how any of those cities are more important than Chicago.

Not even Washington DC? It's very likely the most important city in the world.

Not really. Politics is controlled by business, not the other way around.

Nobody said that. I chose those cities because each of them are top at complementary strengths. In my eyes this mix would be unbeatable, worldwide.

london,new york,tokyo,washingtonDC,beijing,paris

easy choice..
London + Paris + Berlin + Rome + Moscow

The first two would get my vote by themselves....

Berlin, Paris, London, Rome, Moscow

then

shanghai +Beijing +HK +Tianjin +Taipei +Guangzhou +Shenzhen +Chongqing +Nanjing +Hangzhou+Wuhan +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++......

London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and Moscow for now.

Look child, I've got this news for you:

look grandma, I've got stunning news for you:

Despite that US us a big chunk, but it's silly to think, that they are only one, dominating in the world...world police..hahaha :hilarious

Never mind

Delhi + Bombay + Calcutta = 40 million

*Buenos Aires + Santiago de Chile + Montevideo + Sao Paulo = 44 million of inhabitants!

Why London-London is a boring small city. If you put London in uve gotta put in chicago which is bigger. London cant compete with places like NYC or Tokyo its just too small

My opinion only of course

I wish people would quite bringing up old threads...:|

Currently the Atlantic Rim dominates: New York - DC - London - Paris - Brussels
I have a question though. Will the Rise of China and India benefit the US West Coast? Will businesses start sprouting up all over California and Washington and create a Pacific Corridor: Los Angeles - San Fran - Seattle - Tokyo - Shanghai - Beijing - Hong Kong and Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkatta in the Indian Ocean?

Can someone move this to City vs City?

Better yet, just let it die.
This thread isn't suitable for CvsC either.

Of your choices, I'd say London-Paris-Rome-Moscow-Berlin.

Some fascinating, insightful comments there.

You're so eloquent, and so full of sophistication in your posts - I could listen to you all day, I really could.

Thanks for making such a valuable contribution to this forum :okay:

I'm sure we all agree, you deserve a big round of applause. :applause: :applause: :applause:

hehe don't rise to it, he obviously wants some attention and give it to him afterall they dont get much of it down in the backwater known as brisbane. lol

Back to topic its probably London-Paris-Rome-Moscow-Berlin.

It's the 4th anti London post I read from him, tha's a full 20% of all his posts.
If he's here just for anti London trolling, I say we just outright ban him...

Probably London + Paris + Berlin+ Rome + Moscow.

I thought combo threads were banned

For now

Paris-London-Rome-Berlin-Mosco

For future

Mumbai-Delhi-Kolkata-Chennai-Bangalore = 60million or more.

London + Paris + Berlin+ Rome + Moscow
