Congratulations to Boston, Massachusetts for Top Ten Overall ranking and three other Top Five rankings in the 2007/2008 North American Cities of the Future competition by fDi magazine for the Major Cities category (over 2 million population). This competitive ranking is featured in the April 2007 issue of fDi magazine.

This unique global benchmarking research project compared business investment climates and urban development across North America. This business location benchmarking and "short list" screening process is similar to the approach commonly used by professional consultants.

The "City of the Future" competition is held every other year in regions around the world by fDi magazine - Foreign Direct Investment, which is published by the Financial Times group. www.fdimagazine.com

There were a record 108 nominations from city economic development agencies in metro areas across the USA, Canada, and Mexico for this very competitive selection process involving nine months of research work and independent expert review of more than 60 facts provided by the nominated cities.
