Not OP, but some thoughts on these cities: Berlin - startup capital of Europe. Strong education system, low cost of living, dev salaries are held down by immigration from, and proximity to, Eastern Europe. Possible synergy with German automotive and manufacturing industries. Shenzhen: global manufacturing hub, access to Chinese-speaking World. Major support from Chinese government. Possible synergy with supply chain, manufacturing, and logistics. London: English speaking, global financial capital. Drawbacks include immigration questions and small population. Toronto seems to be based largely on proximity to the US with a better healthcare and immigration system, plus the university of Waterloo. Not sure what the obvious rationale would be for Vancouver or Chicago.
