Vancouver has the best reputation of any city in the world

Vancouver has been named the world’s most reputable city, according to an international poll conducted by the Reputation Institute. Three main reputation dimensions were looked at: Advanced Economy, Appealing Environment and Effective Administration. Only Vancouver and Sydney were the only cities to finish in the top 10 in all three of the aforementioned, reputation dimensions. Vancouver scored highest in administration and was recommended by poll participants as also the best place to live and work.

The Copenhagen-based organization surveys annually more than 18,700 people in 15 countries on the reputations of 100 cities that are selected according to population, gross domestic product and volume of tourism. The findings are then analyzed and published in an annual report called the City RepTrak. This year,Vancouver beat out world cities like Vienna and Sydney to earn top spot on the prestigious list. The destination scored highest in reputation drivers that include effective administration; adequate infrastructure of transportation, communications and public institutes; adherence to progressive social, economic and environmental policies; and best overall destination in which to live and work.
