November 30, Aplenty- Honolulu is neither an Alpha, Beta, nor a Gamma city. Maybe one day Honolulu will become an alpha or beta city. The rankings change and cities can fall in and out of favor as an alpha city. The city was only ranked at number 32 worldwide, but the mercer report tends to favor cities that have universal health care. They were followed by San Francisco, and Boston. I was reading the Mercer Quality of Living report, and Honolulu Ranked as the highest American city on the list again. Honolulu has plenty of culture and history, is an international city, and has a high quality of living.
It's a shame that Honolulu doesn't rank in the list of global cities. In some other ways, perhaps quality of life (as someone pointed out), it could rank near the top, but that's a different ranking. I'm just saying it's unrealistic to put it in the same category as New York, London, or Tokyo in terms of being an international economic and cultural hub with worldwide influence.
I'm sure Honolulu is a nice place, and I don't mean to speak negatively about it.
How many top-100 multinational corporations are headquartered in Honolulu? How about top-100 universities? How about a stock exchange? A famous fashion designer, symphony, or theater district? An airline hub? A major league sports team? A major league anything?
