Boston named one of the world’s best cities MABA MassachusettsRealEstate FirstTimeHomeBuyers MaBuyerAgent

Bostonians already know Bean Town is one of the best cities in the world, but now it’s time for others to take notice, thanks to a new report that ranked Boston as just that. World’s Best Cities has released its ranking of the best cities across the globe, and Boston broke the top fifty, ranking thirty sixth on the list. To identify the best cities, World’s Best Cities compared cities across six metrics: place (walkability, bikeability, landmarks and outdoor areas), product (airports, convention centers, museums, universities and pro sports teams), programming (culture, nightlife, food, shopping and attractions), people (diversity, education levels and percentage of the population born outside the U.S.), prosperity (number of Fortune five hundred companies, knowledge based-businesses, cost of living and poverty rates) and promotion (based on Facebook check-ins, google searches and trends, Tripadvisor reviews and Instagram hashtags).

Noted as a “hub of higher education” and “home to the eleventh best-educated workforce on earth, Beantown produces a steady stream of new talent to help attract startups and established companies alike,” according to the report, which proclaimed, “America’s oldest big city has never been more current.” Boston ranked number one in the university subcategory, hosting seventy five higher-learning institutions, as well as two hundred thousand post-secondary students, many of whom the report noted have returned post-pandemic. The city also ranked eighth in the list’s global GDP per capita subcategory and number fourteen  overall for prosperity. “Boston’s reopening is well underway,” said Martha Sheridan, president and CEO of the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Hotel development is robust, new openings and five star renovations are a sure sign that recovery is unfolding as we would hope.”
