Most Rounded City

[jr07]

Which city do you think is the most rounded in the world. What I mean by rounded is that there is a mix of Old and New, combines density and sprawl, fast life as opposed to slow paced, a city with diverse ethnicities and backgrounds, and a dense CBD with headquarters sprawled everywhere. Which city combines these and makes this city special?

My pick: Chicago

Chicago has a really dense downtown, where there is so much to do. Chicago also has its fair share of sprawl, which I believes makes Chicago a great place because if you don't want to live in a dense, livable downtown, you can move to the suburbs.

Definately London or Paris. They blend the old and the new the best. Between London and Paris I prefer London. It is more cosmopolitan and is very dnse. Plus, there is no experience like walking through London's streets.

Why did you start two of THE SAME EXACT THING

[Butcher]

You know you can add a poll to the first one.

[jr07]

Sorry, it didn't have a poll, so I just did it over again.

[mumbojumbo]

^^ He wanted to add a poll

I pick London (Beijing should be there too)

I actually had Beijing, but forgot about the S. American Cities.

err, London's wjfox claims London has so many open spaces and 'excels' in a.o. 'environment' :laugh:

This Londonmania is quite entertaining
I guess you're not serious?

Madrid, Hong Kong, Chicago, Paris

[Butcher]

Yeah, but if you click on thread tools, it will let you add a poll if you forgot one.

[Wallbanger]

What about Montreal?

[Butcher]

There is a choice for "other" you know.

[Wallbanger]

I know. I wasnt asking why wasn'nt Montreal up there, I'm asking other peoples opinions.

[Butcher]

Oh ok. I certainly wouldn't pick it as the best, but I think it is a pretty well-rounded city.

[Shafick]

SANTIAGO - CHILE

[SUNNI]

i think London :)

[HirakataShi]

I also go for Chicago. It has a mix of everything. Extremely livable city (ignoring the hellish weather).

[Peshu]

London is the most rounded city in the world.Just ask any Londoner :hahaha:

[samsonyuen]

From this list, Chicago. London's too expensive for the commoner. I would say Toronto is really well-rounded as well.

[sirhc8]

NYC, I would've thought.

[eduardo101]

I'd say...Madrid!

[Kanji]

London, Paris or Madrid for this poll

--------------------------Kanji, aho bajo

[Gladys8it]

I chose Other. San Francisco is my choice. Though, all of the cities listed are top-notch. :cheers:

Cheers!!

[Skybean]

TORONTO.
Clean, tolerant, good public transit, high quality of life, multicultural

[eastman]

oops ...there is something missing here...istanbul : the mainland of three empires...
i think "other cities" is not a sufficient choice to describe "istanbul"...

[wickedestcity]

chicago

[jr07]

Anybody else??

[Booyashako]

Out of probable cities that I've been to:

NY, Chicago, (Montreal), (Toronto), London, (Boston), and Los Angeles...I'd most definitely pick Montreal. It is a a city that offers the "best of both worlds" (modern North America and historic Europe). It is French and English and then some. It has big-city amenities in a smaller-sized city. It has a dense CBD and a sprawling metro...

[Küsel]

Chicago or San Francisco started growing some 100 years ago, I wouldn't call that "mixture of old and new", maybe it's for the Americans, but it's a bit of a short-termed history...

- London is for sure a very good example: dense center with mixture of old and new, suburban sprawl with all the new towns and the green belt.
- Paris is also a good example in Europe or Berlin
- Bangkok would be my Asian choice

[Azn_chi_boi]

chicago for me too. My reasons are the same as the orginal poster.

[Madman]

Houston...i heard its the most rounded city in the world. :D

[drmadham]

Houston...i heard its the most rounded city in the world. :D

lol, yeah. its the fattest city in america ;)

[Q-TIP]

London. Then probably HK or Paris

[mikep]

Montreal should be on the list but Id say either NYC or London as the best
