So india's political power is even no where near that of Egypt, Turkey and Mexico after all?

an UNSC seat ? yeah a seat at UN-Sanitary Council

India does not deserve a position in the list.

Pakistan is not trying for UNSC seat.

Pakistan is not trying for UNSC seat.

I'm not sure how seeking UNSC membership related to this list here.
At the bottom of the list they clearly put how these rankings are measured.
This political power list is is based number of NGO and political organization headquarters, embassies and think tanks.
BTW, UNSC permanant seat is not decided based on this list, even I don't see any Russian cities in the list, it doesn't mean they should be stripped off their UNSC membership neither it means they have no political power.

Do you guys care to check, in the same link they have another link for Top 25 global cities for 2020, Predicted.

This last list here, the "Knowledge and influence" one, is a bit weird. Why is HK the only Chinese city ranked?

This particular ranking seems to be based on available media sources or something like that.

Why on earth u always have to bring India and derail the thread .
If this list would have been made 10 years back Beijing and Shanghai would have hardly made it in the list .

@Speeder
When China got UNSC membership was Beijing and Shanghai in top 25 cities ??
Dnt keep on talking rubbish and derail the thread

Delhi is atleast better than CAIRO for sure!

 

[Zeeshan360]

Delhi is atleast better than CAIRO for sure!

I think after top 25 cities the rest are randomly ranked .
Tel Aviv is shown better than Mumbai and Delhi

 

[Zeeshan360]

India does not deserve a position in the list.

Chinese could bash us coz they have 3 cities in the list .
I dont knw why u r bashing us when Karachi is included in top 10 worst cities

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

Nice to see the major Chinese cities are in the top 10 in every category.

I think india is a rather uncentralized state much like germany, in france, uk or russia for example all big companies got their hq in the capitals. none of the big german companies has its hq in berlin, lol.

i personally miss melbourne in that list

Sad to see no chinese city among the the top ten in quality of life

The traffic jam alone is gonna take away any quality of life from you if you are living in Chinese big cities.

On a daily basis I see 25 such list,each every time positioning each and every city and country at different places.so nothing big aboyt it.

But what surprised me in this list r cities like Rio,Delhi ranked even below Cairo.

Also the economic activity ranking in which China have two cities equivalent to that of US,even though US economy is more than double.

Also I donot consider LA below than that of Beijing and Shanghai in economic activity,the GDP of LA is even double than combined of Beijing and shanghai.

The knowledge and influence ranking doesn't make much sense to me either. For example there's no way Sydney could rank above Beijing with its lesser universities and less influential media. Maybe the researchers got drunk and thought News Corps is headquartered in Sydney?
