Learn how leading cities are winning the global race for talent, investment and innovation.

Jan,

The EIU Global Liveability Index 2026 identifies the cities setting the global benchmark for stability, infrastructure, healthcare, education and quality of life. As cities face increasing economic, environmental and social pressures, understanding what drives urban success has never been more important.

For multinational organisations, a city's ability to maintain high liveability standards directly impacts its capacity to attract global talent and sustain long-term economic growth. Understanding how these urban hubs respond to structural pressures is essential for future-proofing your business and location strategy.
