The city has been placed in 61st position, the second highest of any UK city, and its education, nightlife and culture were praised. The city placed 93rd last year.
Council leader Susan Aitken said it is an “incredible endorsement” of Glasgow that it has been ranked as the 61st best city in the world by a new report.
The report, which has been welcomed by city leaders, states Glasgow “powers to its global ranking on the strength of its education, including the planet’s eighth-most educated citizenry”. Resonance Consultancy, an advisor on tourism, real estate and economic development, also praised the city’s culture. It placed 72nd in that subcategory.
“Resonance prides itself on providing investors and visitors with objective rankings which go far beyond the usual surveys on cities. The report has also been welcomed by Stuart Patrick, chief executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, who said it “really adds credibility to the city’s reputation”.“When we consider the rapid growth of innovation, tech and education here, it’s perhaps not a surprise to locals, but I’m sure our high ranking will catch the attention of new international investors,” he said.
He added the impact is “plain to see” as Glasgow attracts “students and creatives from around the world”.
