None of the Indian or Chinese cities features in the top 15 global cities of future list prepared by AT Kearney, an international business-consulting firm. In its new Global Cities 2017 report, the firm has ranked 128 cities according to their projected levels of potential to “attract and retain global capital, people and ideas in the coming years.” The report consists of two parts: a) Global Cities Index which ranks cities on the basis of their performance and the Global Cities Outlook which evaluates their potential for future. “Together, the Index and Outlook present a unique lens on the world’s largest and most influential cities and those primed to make a strong impact,” says AT Kearney. It adds that top cities identified are “positioned for continued growth and global influence in the future.”
