San Francisco and the San Jose – Sunnyvale – Santa Clara metro areas were named named as among the most dynamic in the world in a study from Jones Lang LaSalle, a commercial real estate firm, as reported in MSN real estate news recently.  Silicon Valley is a bit of an amorphous thing, with loose boundaries which seem to be as much a state of mind as a geographical location.  Even so, The Valley has been inching northward through the Peninsula into San Francisco in recent years, so it is no surprise that with our current tech boom, both areas made the list.  I think it would be a mistake to think that the San Francisco Peninsula isn’t included generally since it’s book-ended by these areas.

Where else is named?

  1. San Francisco
  2. London
  3. Dubai
  4. Shanghai
  5. Wuhan (China)
  6. New York
  7. Austin
  8. Hong Kong
  9. San Jose (metro area: includes Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, and presumably nearby)
  10. Singapore
