Best Cities is Resonance’s proprietary city-ranking platform and the publishing entity behind the Best Cities Reports, the most cited and comprehensive city rankings today.

Best Cities puts Resonance’s proprietary Place Power™ methodology into action, evaluating 500+ cities through the lenses of Livability, Lovability and Prosperity. Overall, our team analyses millions of individual signals and data points to create these rankings.

Released quarterly, Best City reports are covered by thousands of media outlets around the world and utilized by global companies and government agencies to help design, develop and promote places large and small.

The Place Power™ Score is Resonance’s proprietary approach to benchmarking places based on their Livability, Lovability and Prosperity.

The data we collect on 30 countries and 500+ global cities reveals unique insights on their performance, challenges and opportunities.

We use these findings to help places attract residents, visitors, talent and investment. Our annual Best Cities rankings are based on each city's Place Power™ Score.

It’s possible! Our published Best Cities reports rank the Top 100 cities per regional edition, and Place Power™ Score benchmarks 500+ cities worldwide.

However, cities that are interested in seeing how they stack up can get their own Destination Strategy Scorecard, which helps them understand their competitive strengths, quality of experience, and much more.
