Top Cities #17

This is influenced by the Cities In Motion index, which ranks innovation, sustainability, and quality of life.  I ignored Basel Switzerland because it is too small.  The list has other flaws, like not even listing San Francisco, Hong Kong,Singapore or Mumbai, and generally downgrading Asian cities, but otherwise is pretty interesting.  Of course, cities that weren't otherwise on my list start at the end, and cities can only move up or down 5 slots.  Compare to prior list. The number in the bracket is the ranking in the Cities in Motion index.
