We live in a new era and a different period in which even competition between countries is transformed into a city-to-city competition. Indeed, even in the past and throughout the history, cities have always been critical to the development process of countries. Looking forward, a new chapter of continuously increasing competition between cities in every sense, is about to commence. In this new period, as the qualification of the workforce becomes important, flexible working conditions a likely to become a major issue and talent will be more difficult gain. Hence, the workforce will gain more flexibility to move, and hubs of production and companies will be an even more critical issue. Competition between cities will increase in order to get more shares from this development course. The quality of life, the opportunities they offer, technology and eco-friendly, smart cities will start to come to the forefront.
