New York and London are both powerhouse cities, competitive in everything from fashion, music, and finance, to now even start-ups and high tech. In recent years, the long debate over which is the world’s most economically powerful city has reached something of a fever pitch
London’s position as a center of global trade and finance is at once a source of resilience and vulnerability. London’s economy has shown itself to be diverse enough to absorb major shocks so far, but the future of the financial sector is highly significant to the future of London. The future of London’s finance sector depends on the recovery of the global economy and the development of the Asian economies, which may increasingly attract financial as well as manufacturing industries.

Comparing the maps of Manchester in 1750 to that of 1850, it is evident that not only has the city increased in approximately five times of size but also has built canals and railroads that pierce through the city at all angles (Document 1), including the famous Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Such expansion in urban development and increase in mobility allowed for industries to thrive; as a result, the economy prospered.

New Yorkers, as did the Dutch and British, places less importance on “difference” and more on innovation and risk taking than their rivals. People who came to New York from all over the world were excited of having a better chance to become rich than they would have in their home country or in the other cities nearby.

As a resident, I invested in the well-being of the City of Alpena and its downtown. I witnessed the importance of a thriving downtown and the positive impact it has on the community when I visited London. London and other European cities have shown me what a thriving, walkable community can look and feel like. I am eager to contribute my skills, knowledge, and resources to advocate for changes that will enhance our city. 11.
