North American Cities of the Future 2009/10: Now accepting entries

In April 2009, fDi Magazine will publish a ranking of the economic, business and financial strengths of cities across the North America region. We want to find those cities, small and large, with the best prospects for inward investment, economic development and business expansion. We will be looking at more than 60 criteria covering everything from cost effectiveness to human resources and infrastructure.

Could your city come out on top?

fDi will also name the best small city (metropolitan areas of under five million people) and best large city in the following categories:

Best economic potential
Most cost effective
Best human resources
Best quality of life
Best infrastructure
Most business friendly
Best FDI promotion

We invite investment promotion agencies, economic development units, local and regional governments to supply additional information about their cities in order to help enhance their competitiveness in the rankings.
