Top Global Cities Today and Tomorrow


Each year Kearney (https://www.kearney.com)  creates reports two reports assessing the importance of cities around the world.  The Global Cities Index (GCI) and the Global Cities Outlook (GCO).


 For the 2022 GCI they looked at 156 countries seeing to “quantify the extent to which a city can attract, retain, and generate global flows of capital, people, and ideas.”  To create the ranking, they looked “across five dimensions: business activity, human capital, information exchange, cultural experience, and political engagement.”   The top five for 2022?    New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Beijing.


Will these still be the cities of the future?  The GCO looks to the future, to “identify the cities likeliest to assume and sustain leadership roles in the years to come.”  Which are the top five?  London, Paris, Luxembourg, Munich & Stockholm.  (NY #1 on GCI in 2022 drops to #6 when looking to the future).


Where will you or your business go next?   What is most important thing you consider when looking at a city for business or pleasure?
