A pretentious title. Not every small or mid size city wants to become
world class, some people still love their city the way it is, and always will, without it having to change or get
an image boost from
outsiders.
Not every city is meant to become New York, Tokyo, or Chicago, since there are already cities like New York, Tokyo, and Chicago. Not everybody from a smaller city feels like they have to compare themselves to a city like New York, Tokyo, or Chicago by calling their city world class to feel
validated. They are already happy to be from where they are from, without an outsider trying to
boost up morale even more, or expand
on what's already there. They are good with the city the way it is, without it having to change for anybody.
