These cities sell best

Hustle and bustle is the trump card - at least for metropolitan areas. This is shown by a new network analysis by the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute. If you want to be at the forefront of the competition for the "creative class" and the brightest minds, you have to have something to offer. Infrastructure and transportation play just as important a role as the cultural scene and image. This is what generates attention. A city has to be heard and seen, loved or hated, hotly desired or highly controversial - but above all, it has to be the talk of the town. How do metropolises achieve this? The trend towards the eventization of the city could not be clearer: Visitors no longer come to take souvenir pictures for their private photo albums. They want spectacular photos and ingenious shots that celebrate their lifestyle - and show it to all their followers. The more renowned a city's sports clubs, the more successful its major events and the more exciting its sights, the more visible and important they are in the digital world, with Paris, Berlin and Los Angeles being particularly successful.
