For the sixth year running, London took the top slot. Looming question marks linger around Brexit, set to take full effect from January, but the report highly ranks the city’s parks and outdoor experiences, stating, ‘today, there’s no better urban experience anywhere, no matter the global forces swirling above the ancient streets.’
Although the city that never sleeps is a bit quieter lately, New York City ranks second on the list. The report says that NYC is one of the best shopping cities in the world, with the new ‘mall of the future’ at Hudson Yards. Although New York was the first epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, the report remains optimistic on the city’s next steps: ‘however the world emerges, evolves or pivots out of our collective force majeure, it will happen here first.’
