World Best Cities Report 2024: Shaping Tomorrow's Urban Centers

In its 2024 edition, the World Best Cities Report presents an insightful analysis of over 270 global cities, highlighting the top 100 metropolises shaping the future. This report, curated by Resonance Consultancy, is notable for its blend of statistical data and qualitative assessments from digital channels like TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Instagram.

Significantly, the report has restructured its previous categories into three broader pillars – Livability, Lovability, and Prosperity – to calculate each city's Place Power® Score. These categories reflect a city's appeal in terms of its natural and built environments, cultural vibrancy, educational facilities, economic strength, and more.
