Toronto falling on Global Cities Index - transit is a part of it



The Global Index


First, check out this chart:


http://www.atkearney.com/gbpc/global-cities-index/full-report/-/asset_publisher/yAl1OgZpc1DO/content/2012-global-cities-index/10192

Follow the link above, check out the entire report - notice that there is not a single mention of Toronto in the report, at all. It's utterly un-noteworthy. It's been said "love me or hate me, but don't be indifferent" and that's exactly what Toronto is here - reflective of its tepid, insipid mediocrity. That's sad enough...but it gets worse...

Toronto's trend over the last five years?
  • 10th in 2008
  • 14th in 2010
  • 16th in 2012
We are entrenched in the wrong direction.
