Boston: best city in the WORLD!

Boston named one of the world’s best cities

Bostonians already know Bean Town is one of the best cities in the world, but now it’s time for others to take notice, thanks to a new report that ranked Boston as just that.

World’s Best Cities has released its ranking of the best cities across the globe, and Boston broke the top 50, ranking 36th on the list. 

To identify the best cities, World’s Best Cities compared cities across six metrics: place (walkability, bikeability, landmarks and outdoor areas), product (airports, convention centers, museums, universities and pro sports teams), programming (culture, nightlife, food, shopping and attractions), people (diversity, education levels and percentage of the population born outside the U.S.), prosperity (number of Fortune 500 companies, knowledge based-businesses, cost of living and poverty rates) and promotion (based on Facebook check-ins, google searches and trends, Tripadvisor reviews and Instagram hashtags).

Noted as a “hub of higher education” and “home to the 11th-best-educated workforce on earth, Beantown produces a steady stream of new talent to help attract startups and established companies alike,” according to the report, which proclaimed, “America’s oldest big city has never been more current.”

Boston ranked No. 1 in the university subcategory, hosting 75 higher-learning institutions, as well as 200,000 post-secondary students, many of whom the report noted have returned post-pandemic.  

The city also ranked eighth in the list’s global GDP per capita subcategory and No. 14 overall for prosperity. 

“Boston’s reopening is well underway,” said Martha Sheridan, president and CEO of the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Hotel development is robust, new openings and 5-star renovations are a sure sign that recovery is unfolding as we would hope.”

One of the first places to experience the downturn, Beantown also appears to be among the first to rebound: In the last quarter of 2007, prices rose 1%. (Yes, because nothing makes you sound like a complete native like calling Boston, “Beantown”.)
