Will we see other US cities differently when we're more global?

If our posts on how we see US cities were read at midcentury, 2050, would they seem for more "national" (even provencial) than they read today as we write them? That might take a bit of explanation. Despite all our involvement in the larger world, we still often see things through domestic eyes. We still see New York as the city that dominated US history and culture as our greatest. We still see LA as a growing balance in the west. We look at our coasts and see fly-over country between them. We question how much validity to give newer, growing cities in south and west. We debate whether real "Rust Belt" cities can truly come back. But what happens if when we become truly global? What happens when we look towards London as much as New York or Tokyo as much as LA? What happens when we don't filter our thoughts to such an American degree as we do now? Doesn't "flyover country" disappear when we see the globe as a whole? Don't our coasts matter less when great cities around the globe are not necessarily on the coast? What happens when to how we see our cities when we, the US, become just a part of a greater whole?>
