A Poll Asked People In 24 Different Countries To Pick The Best City In The World

Ipsos, a market research organization, recently conducted a poll to find The World's Favorite City.

The company polled more than 18,000 people in 24 countries to find out the best cities to do business in, live in, and visit.

Ipsos then tallied the responses to determine which global cities ranked the highest across all three categories.

The overall winner this year was New York, followed by London, Paris, Abu Dhabi, and Sydney. Zurich was named the world's best city to live, while New York was voted the top city for business. Paris was the best city to visit, Ipsos found.

The most interesting part of the Ipsos study, however, was that it looked at what individual countries thought were the best cities. Some countries had a lot of national pride - Japan, for instance, ranked Tokyo as number one in all three categories.

On the other hand, Madrid failed to even make the top 10 list in Spain. The Spanish public was much more eager to live in either Stockholm, Zurich, or Berlin.
