Omaha makes Sufficiency Class on list of World Class Cities

As shown, this puts us in the same category as cities like Quebec City, Tulsa, Honolulu, Seville, Turin, Memphis, Hartford, Jerusalem and New Orleans and other great cities of the world. This is a Great thing for Omaha in my opinion.

Um, I'll DEFINITELY take being in the company of New Orleans, Honolulu, Bordeaux, Quebec City, Marseille, and Salt Lake City!

Thanks Ricko...I did and it is still unclear (at least to me) the precise criteria and weighting system used.ricko wrote:If you click on the "data" sub-directory on the website, it'll give you the categories.elwood wrote:On what criteria where these categories derived? Looks like a random mish-mash to me.

There are a lot of questionable placements, which leads me to believe that even though this is a WORLD cities list, they took into consideration the importance/status of a city within its country. For instance, Sydney and Toronto both being placed above Chicago.
It's still an interesting grouping of cities.
