A new global ranking of the world’s best cities has been released and this time too London has secured the first position. In this list prepared by Resonance Consultancy and Ipsos, cities were evaluated on the basis of facilities like living, working and traveling. London being number-1 for the 11th consecutive time is proof that this city still remains the world’s favorite center in terms of culture, economy and standard of living.

This year too, the capital cities maintained their strong hold in the top ranking. The top 10 cities are as follows:

1. London
2. New York
3. Paris
4. Tokyo
5. Madrid
6. Singapore
7. Rome
8. Dubai
9. Berlin
10. Barcelona.

Cities have been evaluated on three main grounds. Among these criteria, stable economy, urban facilities, culture, employment and infrastructure were prominent.

Europe’s strong presence

This time Europe performed brilliantly in the rankings. Cities such as London, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Berlin and Barcelona reflect Europe’s advanced economies, historical heritage and high standards of living. Sustainability, tourism, education and modern facilities in these cities play a major role in the ranking.

Big cities of Asia also shine

Only two cities from Asia could make it to the top 10, in which Tokyo has got the fourth position, while Singapore is at sixth position. Both these cities are known worldwide for technology, cleanliness, safety and advanced urban systems. Tokyo’s high-tech infrastructure and Singapore’s smart city planning make them very strong at the global level.

Bengaluru leads in the performance of Indian cities

Four major cities of India have been included in this list. Bengaluru performed the best. Bengaluru has got 29th position. Whereas Mumbai and Delhi are at 40 and 54 positions respectively. Bengaluru is known as the Silicon Valley of India. It got a high rank due to its rapidly growing startup ecosystem, global tech companies, employment opportunities and better living facilities. Mumbai secured the 40th position due to economic activity and global connectivity, while Delhi remained in the top 60 due to culture, history and big markets.
