Just seen the result of The Economist's pole:
NY 34%, London 21%, Singapore 18%, Washington 6%, Shanghai, Beiijing and Dehli 6%

Brussels as future capital of the U.S. of Europe doesn't figure.

Africa, Australasia and the Middle East don't figure..

Some have suggested that instead of the original 5 parameters(see beginning of thread) other factors should be considered such as: Cleanliness, Health, Green Space, Happiness and the gap between Rich and Poor.... summed up perhaps as Liveability.
