Toronto as a Global City:
Scorecard on Prosperity - 2010
 |
We enjoy an enviable quality of life and attract
the world’s best and brightest people. But our economic
performance has not kept pace with our success as a liveable city.

On March 29, the Board of Trade released its second annual Scorecard
on Prosperity. Generously sponsored by the Certified Management
Accountants of Ontario, Scorecard 2010 once again measured the
performance of the Toronto region – this time against more cities
around the globe, on a wider range of indicators.
The questions raised by Scorecard 2010 are
compelling ones indeed: the Toronto region has made great strides in
becoming one of the world’s most desirable places to live and
work, but our economic performance remains middling at best.
|
Our region must solve this conundrum in order to protect its enviable
quality of life and achieve its full potential as a world-leading
jurisdiction.
As part of the Board’s VoteToronto2010.com campaign,
Scorecard on Prosperity 2010 is more than just
a report. It is a tool that can help drive solutions by:
• flagging that Toronto’s high quality of life will be
in jeopardy without a stronger regional economic platform
• pinpointing one of the key reasons for the disconnect
between labour attractiveness and economic performance: our inability to
attract capital investment
• offering case studies detailing successes in other cities
that have faced challenges similar to those plaguing our region
today
• providing measurements that can shows policy makers where
best to target efforts aimed at attracting investment, creating jobs and
elevating the Toronto region as a leading global city
• calling on all mayoral candidates to clearly articulate how
they will meet these challenges
