Most Prosperous And Inclusive-Cities In The World, 2019

Note: The index is designed to showcase not only the quantity of economic growth in a city, but also its quality and distribution across populations. Elements taken into consideration when measuring a city’s inclusive prosperity included GDP per capita, personal safety, access to education, internet access, housing affordability, environmental quality, and access to healthcare. The 2019 PISCA report was commissioned by the Basque Government and compiled by Australian-based consulting firm D&L Partners.
