Place Power™ Score
The Place Power™ Score is our proprietary approach to benchmarking places based on their livability, lovability and prosperity. The data we collect on 400 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. The 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.
“World’s Best Cities is the most comprehensive study of its kind.”
