The simple reason the bridge is used in publications and is making it to top 10 lists is because the city is propping it up. It has to do so considering how much was spent on it against public opinion. I would bet that no tourist is specifically putting the peace bridge or any similar structure in another city on their must see list.

not too sure about that; initially in their own publications, you can make that argument...
however, when its something that is independent and has editorial independence that puts it out, its a different animal...
the Peace Bridge was recently on Archdaily, which is one of, if not the, top sites for design and architecture traffic

that's not driven by the city... that's determined by their editors...
