The 7th Annual Hub Culture Zeitgeist Ranking is about to appear, and in our evaluations we often run across a theme that merits a smaller preview list. This year's key word seems to be resilience, and it reflects a definite trend of revival happening in the world today.

With that in mind, we present five cities that are rising, phoenix-like, from the ashes, and are therefore terribly interesting places for your consideration.

Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross and Cam'ron are out with a new video for their hit single, I Am Your Leader.

nospam@example.com (Hub Culture News) — Sat, 19 May 2012 06:47:06 +0000

Summer in Europe is like a sweet dream - no matter how bad the problems in the city, almost everyone finds time to slip away, unfurl on a beach and sip local spirits under starry skies.

Hub Culture 2012 Zeitgeist Ranking

nospam@example.com (Hub Culture News) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 08:43:42 +0000

The 6th Annual Hub Culture Zeitgeist skids into place with a focus on the heavyweights and gradual power shifts. This is the year of determined resolve - and everyone seems, dare we say, pretty optimistic?

Signs are that the US and European economies are finally evened out from a death spiral, income inequality is being addressed in pop culture platitudes, emerging markets are ticking over, its an Olympic year, etc. etc.. (Just how do we create this ranking?). And its São Paulo for the win - again! While the main cities remain on the list in different positions, there is an evident balance of power shift this year, with more BRIC cities in the top positions than ever before.
