I can’t think a single reasonable metric that wouldn’t net at least a couple of us cities among the top 20. In fact the only metric that I can come up with is “not in America because of my irrational hate for it .”
Public transportation, walkability, cycling infrastructure, and public spaces. Why are you so convinced I’m foaming at the mouth hating on america. I’m just a dude who thinks our cities suck.
It’s just my opinion. A world class city imo should have excellent public transportation, cycling infrastructure, parks and public gathering spaces, and traffic calmed commercial districs. Basically a world class city should have a lot of things worth visiting and infrastructure that lets you visit those places easily and comfortably without relying on a car.
No north american city meets those standards in the way that some european cities do.
Honestly, as a Canadian I don’t think north america has any world class cities.
Really? NYC? Come on, you’re just doing the “murica bad” edgy teenager thing.
I’m surprised it’s universally downvoted as mindless shitting on America is a pretty sure bet for upvotes on Lemmy.
It’s weird that having a differing opinion of what makes a city world class means I’m “mindlessly shitting on america”.

…so do you not believe there are any world-class cities, period? I can find exceptions for every single city in the list of requirements you laid out.
You’ve never even HEARD of the NYC subway?
Dude, just stop having opinions, you’re clearly not informed enough.
