London has topped the world's 100 top-performing cities in Resonance Consultancy's annual World's Best Cities Report.
The Resonance Best Cities rankings quantify and benchmark the relative quality of place, reputation and competitive identity for the world's principal cities with metropolitan populations of one million or more.
They are lauded as the world's most thorough city ranking, based on original methodology that analyses key statistics as well as user-generated reviews and online activity in on-line channels such as Google and Facebook.
"The World's Best Cities rankings are composed of experiential factors that people consider most important in choosing a city to live and visit, as well as empirical factors that business decision-makers consider important for business or investment," said Resonance Consultancy president chief executive Chris Fair.
As a result, the rankings don't just consider cities as places to live, work or visit - they take a more holistic approach using a wide range of factors that show positive correlations with attracting employment, investment and/or visitors-ranging from the number of culinary experiences, museums and sights and landmarks each city offers, to the number of Global 500 corporations, direct flight connections and the mentions each city has on Instagram.
Based on each city's performance in the 22 factors analysed, these are the World's Best Cities for 2020:
1) London, England 2) New York City, USA 3) Paris, France 4) Tokyo, Japan 5) Moscow, Russia 6) Dubai, United Arab Emirates 7) Singapore, Republic of Singapore 8) Barcelona, Spain 9) Los Angeles, USA 10) Rome, Italy
