Kuwait City ranked fifth in the Gulf and Arab world in the "World’s Best Cities" index, which is issued annually by the Canadian "Resonance Consultancy" for studies and research related to cities and destinations around the world.
Resonance Consultancy, a leading global advisory firm in the tourism, real estate and economic development sectors, is based on the idea of the index on the comparison between megacities with a population of more than one million people around the world, using a set of criteria from statistical performance and quantitative assessments by residents of each city and its visitors, where each city's ranking on the general index is determined based on its average rankings in these six categories.
In the category of place, Kuwait ranked 71 globally, in terms of population diversity 39 globally, in promotion 48, and in prosperity 23 globally, and in the category of output that measures major institutions, tourist attractions and infrastructure of the city, Kuwait ranked 197 globally.
According to Resonance Consultancy, Kuwait's ranking the 17th in terms of opportunities for expatriates reflects its global appeal, but extreme inequality (261) undermines its impressive ranking in the global GDP per capita category at 3rd, while Kuwait ranked 9th in the unemployment indicator.
