Cities That Offer Widest Opportunities In The World

BANGALORE: As quoted by Napoleon Bonaparte, ‘Ability is of little account without opportunity,’ likewise one should also be at the right place to nail the opportunity that comes on the way.

The PricewaterhouseCoopers sixth edition of its "Cities of Opportunity" report recently comes up with a comprehensive new ranking of 30 cities in the world that offer the widest opportunities for the people who live there.

The report  also highlighted the increasing competitiveness of emerging cities across several key indicators like intellectual capital and innovation; technology readiness; how accessible a city is to the rest of the world; transportation and infrastructure; health, safety, and security; sustainability and the natural environment; demographics and livability; economic clout; ease of doing business; and cost.

Bob Moritz, PwC's U.S. Chairman and Senior Partner said, "Changing demographics, shifts in economic power and the concepts of urbanization being realized are the forces taking the world in a new direction."

Let's have a look at the top 7 cities on the list.

1. London:

London has always drawn in the young and ambitious as well as the already successful.

As per the report, the city provides compelling evidence that, despite its high cost of living, it continues to draw in more young and productive talent from across the globe than any other city. And its continued ability to attract talent has been central to its economic growth and to the U.K.’s ongoing economic recovery.

The report also noted that this city has been creating wealth for its citizens, and the world, for hundreds of years.
