2023 Honorary World’s Best City goes to Kyiv, Warsaw second-best in educational attainment

The historic Ukrainian capital earned the title of 2023 Honorary World’s Best City. The first ten ranked cities were: London, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Dubai, Barcelona, Rome, Madrid, Singapore, and Amsterdam. Warsaw was ranked 38th, but it boasts the planet’s second-best-educated citizens, second only to London.

“This year, we disqualified Moscow and St. Petersburg from our list of cities due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” the authors said.

In this latest World’s Best Cities Report, Resonance Consultancy ranks the world’s best cities with populations of more than a million, using a combination of statistical performance and qualitative evaluations by locals and visitors in 24 areas grouped into six core categories. Bloomberg calls Resonance Consultancy’s Best Cities ranking “the most comprehensive study of its kind; it identifies cities that are most desirable for locals, visitors, and businesspeople alike, rather than simply looking at livability or tourism appeal.”
