Look a little more carefully at the list, Zeppinger. Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Nagoya and Montreal are on there. Also, both Seville and Barcelona were given points for pretty much starting out from scratch. According to the authors, several U.S. cities are knocking on the door and were close to making the list, so I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them made next year's list.
