London: London has been crowned the world’s best city for the 10th consecutive year in the annual World’s Best Cities rankings. The British capital retained its top spot, ahead of New York, Paris, and Tokyo.
The rankings, compiled by Resonance, a global advisor in real estate, tourism, and economic development, evaluate cities with populations of over 1 million. London has consistently dominated the rankings since their inception, even as the evaluation criteria evolve each year, Xinhua news agency reported.
The rankings underscore London’s global appeal as a city that consistently combines rich cultural heritage, robust business infrastructure, and an unmatched quality of life.
This year’s rankings, in partnership with leading pollster Ipsos, introduced public perception as a key metric. For the first time, insights from over 22,000 people across 30 countries were incorporated, adding perception-based data to the analysis.
After London (UK), New York (US) and Paris (France), Tokyo (Japan), Singapore, Rome (Italy), Madrid (Spain), Barcelona (Spain), Berlin (Germany) and Sydney (Australia) complete the top 10.
