The Global Cities Index, on the other hand, reinforced the strength of the world’s leading global cities with the top four rankings remaining unchanged from last year. The ranking features a much higher degree of flux with 51 cities lifting their ranking by more than six places within the last year, including 17 in China alone. London also retains its place as the leader in the Global Cities Outlook, thanks to strong performance in personal well-being and innovation post-pandemic. A decline in scores in those two GCI dimensions is consistent across other global cities and reflects disruptions of the global economy and still diminished flow of international travel. However, the report also reveals weaker-than-usual performances in Human Capital and Business Activity for London, as a result of the pandemic and Brexit, with the city coming to second and eighth place respectively. Improvements in the city’s personal well-being, sporting events and culinary offerings, have pushed the UK capital to the top place for Cultural Experience for the first time, taking the lead in front of Paris, New York and Los Angeles. While the Index reflects cities’ current performance, the Outlook reveals which cities are primed to be the next generation of global hubs by assessing four metrics: personal well-being, economics, innovation, and governance. The 2022 Global Cities Report produced by global management consulting partnership Kearney combines the Global Cities Index (GCI) and the Global Cities Outlook (GCO) and captures the exceptionally complex set of challenging economic conditions faced by cities and city leaders following the tentative recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
