Statista measures which cities are best for locating business activities. The place in the ranking depends on several factors such as, among others, population size and GDP. The value of the main indicator is based on several partial indicators: “economy” refers to the strength of the economy and the level of development of a given city, “business environment” focuses on infrastructure and logistics, “company” refers to, among other things. others, to the education system and quality of life, and “charisma” to factors such as tourism, culture and the environment.
The importance of cities in the global economy continues to grow, which is linked to the phenomenon of urbanization. Today, just over half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. In 1950, this was the case for less than a third of all citizens in the world.
