Santiago

[14 April 2010]

While researching Santiago, Chile to determine how well the city would prosper during this era of the Great Leveling, one thing came to the fore: I'm pretty sure I would love to visit!

Summary of the city in Wikipedia:

Chile's steady economic growth has transformed Santiago into one of Latin America's most modern metropolitan areas, with extensive suburban development, dozens of shopping centers, and impressive high-rise architecture. It is an Alpha World City and has a very modern transport infrastructure, including the steadily growing underground Santiago Metro, an effort at modernizing public bus transport and a free flow toll-based ring road and inner city highway system, part of which is tunneled underneath a large section of the cities main river Mapocho connecting the Eastern and Western extremes of the city in a 25-minute drive. Santiago is the regional headquarters to many multinationals, and a regional financial center.
