NYC in 2nd … Behind Tokyo
By BankersBall on Apr 17, 2007 in Lifestyle, London, NYC
All the furor over London, meanwhile it’s Tokyo that we’ve got to be worried about. Or so the Economist reports on a PWC study that estimates city GDP for 2020. And yes, NYC is in second, even now. So it’s status quo for us. London, currently in sixth, is expected to be in fourth.
Sure, it doesn’t necessarily mean finance dominance, but if things get bad, we can always fall back on “but by what measure?”

1. Tokyo (1)
2. NYC (2)
3. Los Angeles (3)
4. London (6)
5. Chicago (4)

A number of “Osaka-Kobe” of the British company is a mistake. I sent a protest email to PwC. Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto (Kansai) urban area equals Los Angeles by 2005, and it is the 3rd place. Aichi(Nagoya)urban area should belong under the 10th place, in 2005. I think Fukuoka urban area to enter within the 50th place from the 30th place. I write it precisely.
3th Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto
Ppopulation 17,000,000
GDP: 600 billion dollars.
10th Aichi(Nagoya) urban area
population 9,400,000
GDP: about 300 billion dollar.
