For me it’s partly population size, but also like… Culture/global impact i guess? Rio/Sao Paulo are some of the biggest cities in the world, and a part of one of the biggest countries in the world, and they’re both “brand recognizable” names.
Beunos Aires, Toronto, Chicago, Huston, Havana and maybe more in Mexico/South America I can’t think of off the top of my head will round out the top 10ish
Remember the point of this is American cities not US cities so we need to account for Canada, central, and south American cities.
When this was posted yesterday I put Miami at number four but there are lots of large vibrant cities in America.
I think I’d probably put Toronto in place of Chicago, I haven’t been in any large city south or Mexico City so I’m not much use there
I mean if we’re going ALL of the Americas it’s probably Sao Paulo, NYC, Mexico City, and imo 4th is a toss up between LA and Rio De Janeiro.
Lima Peru has almost double the population of Rio
Why Rio over LA? From an external look I think Rio should be in a top four or five.
Why does say Sau Paulo beat Brasilia or Beunos Aires?
