The list is based on a survey of 20,000 urban residents and is also premised on contributions from an extensive network of writers and editors. The ranking considers several aspects- culinary landscape, architecture, and cultural richness- and the aim of the list is to offer travel advice to people around the world.

We also asked locals how their city makes them feel: are they happy there? Is it a beautiful place? Is it easy to make social connections? Their thousands of responses gave us a unique insight into the reality of living in the world's greatest cities right now.”
