“This year, we’ve regrouped our previous six categories [Place, People, Programming, Product, Prosperity, and Promotion] into three larger pillars that we utilize in our work with clients—Livability, Lovability, and Prosperity—to define each city’s relative Place Power Score,” Resonance Consultancy president Chris Fair said in the 2024 report. ”Our...
Rankings: Livability (1), Lovability (1), Prosperity (3) “London is rarely quiet these days,” says Resonance. Most of the Tube’s lines are running at its pre-COVID cadence, with added metro stops like the October 2022-opened Bond Street’s Elizabeth station. Thanks to policies that give the U.K. the lowest corporate tax rate among G7 countries, Reso...
Rankings:Lovability (2), Livability (6), Prosperity (12) “The city remains the most visited on the planet, with 44 million visitors last year,” Resonance says. “Good thing Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport used the past three years of lower volume to invest €250 million into a renovation of Terminal 1. Reopened this year, it now has a colossal juncti...
Rankings:Lovability (2), Livability (6), Prosperity (12) The pandemic exodus led some to believe New York City’s reign was over, but this U.S. city’s number three ranking—the same as last year—proves that it’s not going anywhere. Resonance says tourism numbers for the city are skyrocketing from 33 million visitors in 2021 (which was less than half ...
Rankings:Livability (3), Lovability (4), Prosperity (11) “The Japanese government remains steadfast, keeping its target of 60 million visitors and $136 billion in tourism revenue by 2030. It’s not as delusional as it sounds: the country enjoyed record tourism for seven straight years and can now accommodate even more, with the expansion of the inte...
Rankings:Prosperity (2), Lovability (14), Livability (17) Shooting up from its number nine ranking on the 2023 World’s Best Cities list, Singapore has become one of the continent’s most captivating cities, according to Resonance. And it’s not just iconic views from the rooftop infinity pool of Marina Bay Sands that are grabbing people’s attention. ...
Rankings:Prosperity (4), Lovability (5), Livability (35) “Famed for outlandish developments like Palm Jumeirah, home to Atlantis, the Palm and the made-famous-by-Tom-Cruise Burj Khalifa—the tallest building in the world—the city has, over the years, made breaking world records a national pastime: tallest, longest, fastest, largest,” Resonance says....
Rankings:Prosperity (5), Livability (20), Lovability (28) Despite San Francisco’s steep population decline and an office vacancy of about 30 percent, city leaders remain “undeterred,” says Resonance: The city is “rolling out the most daring bike and pedestrian infrastructure in America and the protected bike network now boasts 464 miles of bikeways...
Rankings:Lovability (7), Livability (10), Prosperity (48) Why we love it:Barcelona is an almost ideal European city, one with great weather year round and “era-spanning neighborhoods that are destinations at all hours,” says Resonance. Add bike-friendliness to the list; according the World’s Best Cities report, travelers coming to the city will fin...
Rankings: Livability (5), Lovability (22), Prosperity (24) According to Resonance, an attitude of care for others and willingness for locals to do the work is reflected in the city’s Top 5 ranking in its Livability score. Just look at the approach Mayor Halsema’s administration took in accommodating unhoused migrants during the refugee crisis. Maki...
- Johannesburg, South Africa. Climate Index: 0.86. The climate in Johannesburg is mainly dominated by the summer season, but one that isn’t too humid or hot.
- Luanda, Angola. Climate Index: 0.86. In the case of Luanda, it’s the cool Benguela Current that moderates the temperature. One of the most prominent effects of this current is that it prevents much of the moisture from condensing into rain, saving the area from large chunks of rainfall.
- Lima, Peru. Climate Index: 0.85. Many would be surprised to find Lima on the list because this is the second-largest desert city in the world after Cairo.
- Santiago, Chile. Climate Index: 0.85. The evenings in Santiago tend to be cooler, even during the summer months. The winters can get moist, but average temperatures in summer don’t go above 67.1°F, keeping the overall climate pretty mild.
