This is like the 101st time I have done this. I start with the latest February list, and each city will change no more than 5 places up or down from that list, and up to 5 new ones will be added. The factors used to adjust it are based on the number of billionaires in the city, metro system ridership, and skyline rating. Previous ranking in parens, and some of these have explanations.
1. New York (3). #1 because of the number of billionaires, and the skyline.
2. Tokyo (1). #1 in the number of metro system ridership
3. London (5). Moved up because of the number of billionaires
4. Seoul (2).
5. São Paolo (10). It shouldn't necessarily be this high, but it is higher than Los Angeles
6. Los Angeles (4).
7. Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe (6).
8. Beijing (13).
9. Shanghai. (11). Beijing is ranked higher than Shanghai, both on the number of billionaires and subway ridership.
10. San Francisco/San Jose (8)
11. Mexico City (7)
12. Moscow (17)
13. Paris (16)
14. Jakarta (9)
15. Guangzhou (19). Guangzhou beats out Chicago, based on its better transportation system.
16. Chicago (20)
17. Washington DC/Baltimore (12)
18. Mumbai (22)
19. Manila (14)
20. Buenos Aires (15)
21. Istanbul (26)
22. Delhi (18)
23. Taipei (28)
24. Hong Kong (29)
25. Bangkok (27)
26. Rhine-Ruhr (21)
27. Shenzhen (none)
28. Miami (23)
29. Cairo (24)
30. Singapore(none).
Tehran and Rio de Janiero are both gone. Singapore and Shenzhen both have better metro systems than Rio, both are ranked higher in skyline ratings and both have more billionaires.
