I think, according to statistics, New York, Miami, and Chicago are the leads. Though I believe that is a little misleading. The NY and Chicago booms are more likely in the city itself; whereas the Miami boom that most refer to, and the one I am proud of, is more of the whole metro area. So, that said, hard to tell.

Hah! Ask the same question in 6 to 9 months, and you'll have the answer...$120 Billion investment in the next ten years for New Orleans (90% private, 10% public)...I doubt it will be topped. But, we deserve it, anyway.....

Miami and Chicago stand out big time.
There is another city but I don't want to boost.

80 years ago it was probably Detroit. Look where that got it, I prefer slow but steady and well planned.

In terms of mid sized cities, we in Baltimore have $4 Billion in projects under construction and in the works. That's a good pace for a city of this size. There are tower cranes everyplace.
