Our Methodology
How we chose the 2024 world’s best cities
Our methodology is a combination of core statistics from 400 global cities and user-generated ratings and reviews.
Resonance interprets this data through the lens of three key factors—Liveability, lovability and prosperity—to define the concept of ‘Place Power® Score’.
Place Power® Score
Liveability
We believe that resilient communities and sustainable infrastructure are key to making cities and communities better places to live and visit.
Loveability
Our proven, internationally recognized research shows that the perceived social vibrancy of a city is not only important to attracting visitors, but a key driver of economic development as well.
Prosperity
We believe that absolute economic results are not enough, and that growth and the opportunities it creates should be as shared and equitable as possible.
