The City of Mississauga also ranked sixth for economic potential and ninth for infrastructure in the large cities category.
Petovello added: "fDi Magazine's Cities of the Future shortlists are created by an independent collection of data by fDi intelligence division across 405 cities across North and South America. Cities scored up to a maximum of 10 points under each individual criteria which were weighted by importance to give the overall scores.
