North America’s second city?

Brandon Donnelly avatar Brandon Donnelly

Over the weekend Richard Florida sent out a tweetstorm that compared Toronto and New York City, and made the argument that Toronto’s “incredible diversity, density, and industry mix” is making the city feel a lot more like New York and London compared to any other North American city. 

He even went so far as to say that, even though it may not be the bigger metro in terms of raw population, Toronto increasingly feels like North America’s second city after NYC. I’m obviously incredibly biased in this discussion, so I would be curious to get your thoughts in the comment section below.

If you can’t see the embedded tweetstorm below, click here . Regardless, you’ll likely need to click through to see the entire thread.

1. Just back to Toronto after a week in NYC: Got me thinking about what Trump could mean for US cities.
