June 2014. Future-ish is pleased to announce our first ever 50 Future-ish Cities list.

Our team in Studio F reviewed and scored cites around the world on over 20 different science, design, and culture attributes to determine not only which cities would make the list in our first year, but which cities' efforts to increase interest, literacy, and involvement in science, design, and culture would put them at the top of our list.

Selection and ranking were based on scores, some occasional passionate advocacy by Studio F team members, and a nod to cities that we feel are poised to become key innovation players in the not so distant future.

Which metropolis was the "most future-ish" of them all?

Congratulations Toronto!
