London, on the basis of just how much variety and different types of people there are there. You find a bit of everything in London, thus making it a good picture of the world.
There is only projection of anti-culture nowdays.
I notice that a lot of Americans are very concerned with the idea of a city which projects culture; it seems a little imperialistic. Surely, a more representative city would be one that absorbs culture?New York, with Los Angeles second. Oh, and cultural capital of the world means that said city must be projecting its culture globally. Just because there's a developed local culture doesn't mean that other nations are affected by it.

Because we are talking about the "cultural capital of the world," not "culutural interaction." New York currently puts out more than London (well, LA does anyway, not sure why everyone is voting New York) so it is being voted up. Also any list that sees fit to include Boston as a contestant while not including Philly is no list worth looking at at all, in my point of view. That and the fact that they placed Toronto in the wrong area.So, is there any reason why most (Americans) here are rating New York rather than London? Above, of course, patriotism.
As I see it, the two are pretty much indistinguishable in the 'world city' stakes. As it happen, on culture as a metric, the people who study this for serious rate London as more influential than New York.
Typically a capital rules over things, instead of being ruled by them.Are we? I thought a cultural capital would be the place where the most cultural exchanges and interchanges and gatherings took place.
Apparently you are unfamiliar with the concept of representative democracy.Typically a capital rules over things, instead of being ruled by them.
If we talk about world's cultural capital, then it's more significant to count international visitors.
And where do your numbers come from ?
