Anyway, I think the author is using "become" to simply mean "change",
i.e., "The city is becoming [something]". Look at the next sentence,
"... what it's becoming". >>
It certainly does mean "attractive", and I don't think any English allows
the second usage. Unless, of course, the sentence before it is "I don't know
what the city's...", or something like that.
