Place:
โThe perceived quality of a cityโs natural and built environment, including the sub-categories of Air Quality, Weather, Crime Rate, Neighborhoods & Landmarks, and Parks & Outdoor Activities.โ

โA cityโs key institutions, attractions and infrastructure, including the sub-categories of University Rankings, Airport Connectivity, Convention Center, Entertainment, and Museums.โ
Progamming:
โThe arts, culture, entertainment and culinary scene in a city, including the sub-categories of Shopping, Culture, Culinary, and Nightlife.โ
People:
โThe immigration rate and diversity of a city, including the sub-categories of Education and Foreign-born Residents.โ
Prosperity:
โA cityโs employment and corporate head offices, including the sub-categories of Unemployment, GDP per capita, and Global 500 companies.โ
Promotion:
โThe quantity of stories, references and recommendations shared online about a city, including the sub-categories of Google search results, Google Trends, Facebook Check-ins, and TripAdvisor reviews.โ

- London
- New York
- Paris
- Moscow
