Friday November 11, 2005 Montreal and Vancouver Considered Fast Cities
Fast Company, an icon of the dot com bubble, has been posting a series of articles on what it calls “Fast Cities.” Fast cities combine culture, education, technology and tolerance to attract the creative class. After listing fast cities in the US, they turned their attention to 5 global fast cities.
I find it very interesting that out of the 5 cities, 2 of them are in Canada. Montreal is cited for its mixture of old Europe charms and modern amenities, while Vancouver is praised for it's video game industry.
As a Montreal native, I really do like to see the city recognized as such. It is a beautiful city, and it has a unique feel to it. I do enjoy visiting it when I can.
