strickn Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Maybe negative environmentalism presuming to guilt and scold people's inaction is itself part of the problem but... still, the fact that this close-to-top-of-site subforum has not seen a single reply for 280 days, since a time when people had been watching it due to a thread on killing mosquitos? That's, hmm, potentially a good piece of diagnostic information concerning care of our natural world in a pro-breakneck-expansion city bursting with engineers. As we see a metro population of seven million approaching in the headlights, a population that the previous American city to attain it, Chicagoland, attained 55 years ago (calcs if you want 'em), we begin to see ten million on the highway signs. I think our easy growth period is actually soon to be gone; Chicago at that point thought their previous trends' population surge would continue, too. Nevertheless, as part of a masters' thesis, I have gotten to consult some of these business intelligence databases whose subscriptions are more than I make in a year, and, while I can't reprint their forecasts, I think it will be permissible to share some stats if I change enough of the metro groupings and report only percentage rankings with no estimate numbers attached. See posts below. Edited August 19, 2017 by strickn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

79ta Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 @strickn do you still have access to the databases? Curious how these projections are coming along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strickn Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 I wasn't curious because I had forgotten this altogether. Nice treat to see it again. I don't still have access but it's an interesting question and I'm sure most of those cities have drastically underperformed so far relative to pre-Harvey projections.

strickn Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Just as a guess I would think that Seoul, Jakarta, DFW, LA and London have held steady or risen in the past six year period relative to other strategic socioeconomic megaplexes. One I would like to see more specific analysis of for this six year time frame is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhine-Ruhr_metropolitan_region 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
