WHY CITIES MATTER
As cities become increasingly important, understanding their strengths, weaknesses and relative performance matters more than ever.
Rankings provide valuable perspectives—but no single ranking tells the whole story
Cities concentrate people, economic activity, innovation and some of the world’s most important environmental and social challenges. Understanding how they perform is increasingly important for governments, businesses, researchers and citizens
