The French have selected Mountain View as one of the cities to inspire eco-friendly towns of the future. An article in the Mountain View Voice indicates that French official Jacques Attali has selected Mountain View as one of five cities representing the best role models in the world for this vision.

What is the vision?, eco-friendly villages of less than 50,000 people which embody social diversity, public transportation, open space, and a friendly business environment.

Interesting, but I doubt Mountain View’s business friendliness really had that much to do with Google’s ability to grow into the 500 lb. gorilla it is. They were simply growing at a time when others generally were not.
