Cologne (dpa / lnw) - The new city ranking of the Institute of the German Economy (IW) casts a lot of shadow and light on North Rhine-Westphalia.
Once again, no city in the most populous federal state made it into the top ten in one of the three categories of the ranking that the IW created together with the «Wirtschaftwoche» and the Immobilienscout24 internet portal.
In the level ranking, which is supposed to show the current economic strength of the cities, Düsseldorf comes out best in 14th place from a NRW perspective.
