Kearney's latest report highlights that a new form of globalization is emerging, one that is more diversified, increasingly digital, and vastly uncertain in the near term. With shifts in the global geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape bringing the decline of globalization by traditional measures, the performance of global cities signals the emergence of a next wave of global connectivity and exchange.
Global Cities Index
The GCI measures the connectivity of cities across five dimensions including business activity, human capital, information exchange, cultural experience, and political engagement, underpinned by 31 metrics. This year's GCI introduced new metrics to reflect the macro changes in the global operating environment, including measures of digital readiness and human mobility. Global cities have showcased remarkable resilience, with average scores rising across every dimension.
Singapore overtook Beijing to take the fifth position this year, jumping from seventh place in last year's GCI, due to a boost in the business activity dimension, its success in the human capital dimension, a near perfect score in the ease of entry metric, and strong digital capabilities. Meanwhile, Shanghai's leap to eighth place was attributed to the inclusion of the new information exchange metrics, with the Chinese tech center ranked second globally for internet speed and eighth globally for data center presence.
