Oxford Economics ranks based on five categories: economics, human capital, quality of life, environment, and governance.
Oxford Economics said that “By analyzing these five dimensions in depth, the Global Cities Index provides a nuanced understanding of each city’s strengths and areas for improvement, empowering policymakers, investors, employers, and residents to make informed decisions.”
Topping the 2024 Global Cities Index are New York (USA), London (UK), San Jose (USA), Tokyo (Japan), and Paris (France). (Ahikam Pasion)
