Analyst Guidance

  • Vast amount of volatility in city data in 2020
  • Lockdowns have effected results dramatically.
  • One example, number of law firms in some cities has fallen by 25%
  • Law firms increased by 12% in others in only 6 months
  • Massive rise in Digital Transformation technology
  • Trend towards mega-cities could be approaching peak
  • Privacy becoming a concern in less mobile cities
  • Environmental indicators improving
  • Resilience a feature
  • Unpredictable events to continue to 2022.

Rankings of global cities have changed, especially those in many Western countries.

We do not have preliminary results yet as the process is complex.
