Purpose of our research
MISION
Within the 4th Industrial Revolution framework, Cities are competing to become more attractive for talent. Our mission aims to define which elements enhance City attractiveness, and what options exist for cities to do so. The practical consequences are twofold:
1. Help citizens choose the best city in the world to realize their full potential, their goals as a citizen and as a person, and make the greatest possible contribution to society.
2. Advise mayors and city managers on how to create the most attractive city possible to retain and attract talented citizens, and consequently, build a more prosperous, innovative, green, safe, fair, inclusive and human city.
