Calgary, Canada
Calgary has become Toronto's main competitor for corporate headquarters in Canada, a move sparked not only by oil wealth but lower taxes and regulation. The region now easily boasts the highest per capita income in Canada, and its gross domestic product is forecasted to grow 4.2% this year, according to the Conference Board of Canada. Furthermore, it is Canada's third-most diverse city and was ranked as the No. 5 "most livable" by the Economist Intelligence Unit this year. Forbes ranked it the world's cleanest city in 2007, despite Calgary's large oil industry.
