Dr. Yang Yang was featured in a CBS Philly news segment discussing Philadelphia’s shift from the fifth to the sixth largest city in the United States following the release of new census data. Responding to comparisons with Phoenix, Dr. Yang emphasized that population rankings alone are not an “apple-to-apple” measure of a city’s economic vitality or tourism appeal, noting that geographic size, history, and cultural assets matter far more for long-term competitiveness. He underscored that Philadelphia’s rich heritage, urban character, and tourism offerings remain strong fundamentals that cannot be easily replaced, and that a marginal change in population rank is unlikely to have meaningful economic or tourism consequences for the city.
