I think that’s a common intuition! I’m curious if there were particular areas covered (or omitted) from this post that you see as more clearly the natural function of one versus the other.
I’ll note that a couple factors seem to blur the lines between city and national MEARO functions:
-Size of region (e.g. NYC’s population is about 8 million, Norway’s is about 5.5 million) -Composition of MEAROs in the area (e.g. many national MEAROs end up with a home base city or grew out of a city MEARO, some city MEAROs are in countries without a national MEARO)
I could see this looking very different if more resources went toward assessing and intentionally developing the global MEARO landscape in years to come.
I’d imagine the natural functions of city and national groups to vary substantially.
