New York: The World’s Best City for Economics, but Still Room for Improvement in Quality of Life and Environment

New York has been ranked as the best city in the world according to a recent study by Oxford Economics. The study analyzed 1,000 major cities worldwide and scored them on various indicators such as quality of life, environment, governance, economics, and human capital.

In the Global Cities Index rankings, New York emerged as the top city overall, followed closely by London and San Jose. Other American cities in the top ten include Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

New York stood out particularly in the category of economics, where it was ranked number one due to its status as a global hub for finance, tech, advertising, media, and fashion. However, New York fell short in some other categories such as quality of life and environment. Despite this setback, New Yorkers already knew their city’s greatness but having hard data like this study to back it up is always reassuring.
