About Atlanta and Boston
Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the “capital of the new south” and “the next international city” to “the best place to do business.” It is the capital and the most populous city of the US state of Georgia and the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Atlanta is considered an “alpha city” or “world city” and ranks 36th among the world’s cities and 8th in the country with a gross domestic product of $ 270 billion.
Boston is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the largest city in New England and the 24th largest city in the United States. The city is also the economic and cultural anchor for a substantially larger metropolitan area called Greater Boston, which is the 10th largest metropolitan statistical area in the country. Boston, one of the oldest cities in the United States, is considered a world leader in innovation. The city has one of the highest costs of living in the United States, although it still stands high in world livability rankings.
