Many proud Georgians believe their cities are the best in the world. But only one was recently ranked alongside major international destinations like Rome and Paris.
Resonance Consultancy in Canada releases an annual list of the “World’s 100 Best Cities.” This year’s included Atlanta in the No. 31 spot.
The methodology is a complex overall based on several factors like nightlife and airport connectivity that make up three pillars: “Livability, Lovability, and Prosperity.” They used these to analyze principal cities of metropolitan areas with populations of more than 1 million.
Atlanta ranked No. 8 in convention centers and No. 10 in airport connectivity. Resonance Consultancy called the city a progressive beacon with a rich legacy in American civil rights. Here’s more of what they had to say about it:
“Bold new projects pepper downtown, like the 50-acre Gulch redevelopment called Centennial Yards, featuring 12 million square feet of residential, retail and office space and 1,500 hotel rooms. Just east, along Peachtree, Mitchell and Broad streets, as well as Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, dozens of historic buildings are being revived with a focus on public spaces and walkability. Even Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (from which 80% of the U.S. population resides within a two-hour flight) is renovating….Its ATLNext project is pumping US$6 billion into modernization.”
Here are the cities that topped the list:
12. San Francisco
15. Toronto
23. Miami
28. Istanbul
33. Prague
45. Copenhagen
63. New Orleans
75. Sao Paolo
92. Naples
100. Rio de Janeiro
