I am happy to report that I live in the world’s most globalized city, according to Foreign Policy. Why did they create a “global cities index“?

National governments may shape the broad outlines of globalization, but where does it really play out? Where are globalization’s successes and failures most acute? Where else but the places where most of humanity now chooses to live and work—cities. The world’s biggest, most interconnected cities help set global agendas, weather transnational dangers, and serve as the hubs of global integration. They are the engines of growth for their countries and the gateways to the resources of their regions. In many ways, the story of globalization is the story of urbanization.

I should note that I may have lost out by leaving the UK, home of the world’s best global cultural experience.
