No U.S. cities made it into the top 10, which was dominated by five small cities in western Europe: Copenhagen, Zurich and Geneva, Germany’s Frankfurt and the Netherlands’ Amsterdam, plus Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto in Canada.
Some of the most popular cities in the world didn’t rank high in the survey: Paris and London, usually perform less well in the ranking because of big-city problems such as congestion and crime. They were 19th and 33rd respectively, as they start to treat Covid as an endemic problem rather than a pandemic.
Spain’s Barcelona and Madrid ranked 35th and 43rd respectively. Italy’s Milan was 49th, New York 51st and Beijing 71st. The ongoing war in Ukraine also has impacted the rankings: Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, could not be included while rankings for Russian cities including Moscow and St. Petersburg dropped in the rankings after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which led to “increased censorship” the report noted: “Russian cities are additionally seeing restrictions on culture and environment as a result of western economic sanctions.
Neighboring cities in Eastern Europe were also considered less stable following “raised diplomatic tensions” due to the war.
