Reply to comment by ColdJay64 in Philadelphia Ranks #17 in Schroders Global Cities Index by ColdJay64

That comment doesn't change what the intended audience for this list orv why using this list for other purposes is misleading.

Thanks for your feedback

“Schroders’ Global Cities Index seeks to rank global cities across four key criteria: Economic, Environmental, Innovation and Transport. It also aims to identify the cities which combine economic dynamism with world-class universities, forward-thinking environmental policies and excellent transport infrastructure.”

Sharing that our city ranks well among global cities in these areas is misleading? It wasn’t intended to be.

Well in these areas from a global investor perspective is different than from a resident perspective.

Also, global asset management is probably peak neoliberalism. I say that as a neoliberal working in that industry.

>Neoliberalism is contemporarily used to refer to market-oriented reform policies such as "eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers" and reducing, especially through privatization and austerity, state influence in the economy.
