Toronto - 10th Most Influential City Worldwide.

-

Despite the numerous ranking in terms of livability and economic stature, Toronto was ranked 10th most class city. Toronto is the 10th “most necessary” city in the world, a spot it shares with San Francisco and Los Angeles – Forbes Magazine (2014).

This study from Forbes states London, New York, and Paris take the top three in this survey. This highlights the city’s stature as financial hub. "Toronto, as the economic capital of Canada, has becomes a focus for international investment into that stable and resource rich country," the introduction to the ranking reads. "It is also among the most diverse cities on the planet -- 46 % of its population is foreign born."


While the 10th place ranking doesn't necessarily seem so high, when you consider that a city like Chicago comes in at 20th, it should serve as a reminder that Toronto's stature in the world is secure.
