That’s ridiculous. Toronto is like top 10 most important, at least top 20.

44

Another vote for removing Toronto. :+1:

It’s top 20. 15th to be exact.

46

Top 20 on the boring and irrelevant list?

Philly was nice. San Francisco has good food in Chinatown, but I can’t understand why anyone would want to live there.

This is a much better list.

It’s not perfect but it’s not too wacky

Athens is important historically. It’s the cradle of democracy ferchissakes!
Rio isn’t as big as Sao Paulo, but it’s in many ways the heart/center of Brazil. With Copacabana, Carnival, Corcovado, Maracana, the tourism aspect, and its history of being the capital for so many years before Brasilia became the capital, I think it rates highly. Should South America only have Buenos Aires as a representative?
Lagos may be the armpit of Africa, but Nigeria has over 200 million people, and it’s growing fast. No city within a week’s drive is as important.

Calling cities “Alpha” is misogynistic. Fail!

Ancient Greece is a gazillion years ago. Greece has not been an important country for centuries.

Brazil is a terrible economy and receives very few tourists. Rio is not important at all.

Nigeria may have 200 million people but it’s poor as fuck. It’s a much smaller economy than Taiwan ffs.

52

You’re joking, right? The country is crawling with princes.

I’ve been to Rio and Brazil, a decent Taiwan centre in SaoPaulo as well large(est) Japanese town outside of Japan (mixed with Taiwanese and other Asians). its great tourist place, but Rio is more famous. But not safe, but Americans have many bad or worse cities like Chicago

That list is not totally useless, but what is it ranking cities for? Is it importance? :face_with_monocle:
Why is Dubai more important than Moscow?
Why is Riyadh more important than Washington DC?
Why is Stockholm more important than Berlin?

55

Even so Brazil as a whole receives very few tourists. In 2019 Brazil received 6.6 million international tourists, which is like half of that of Taiwan.

56

It has a syndrome named after it.

Because it’s a major finance centre and transport hub? What does Moscow do other than killing Ukrainians?

Probably because America has other important cities. Riyadh is the capital of the largest oil exporter in the world.

Probably because Berlin is not important economically, Frankfurt and Munich are more important.

I’m at 20/100, but the U.S./North America seems to be massively overrepresented on that list (and I’ve only visited the U.S. once, when I was a kid).

If you’ve been to Brazil then you’d know that robberies occur even in the nicest neighborhoods of Sao Paulo and Rio. People drive to work in bullet proof cars and rhe super rich take helicopters. That doesn’t happen in the US. So while the US may have violence it is very much localized to certain neighborhoods.
