This only makes me wonder how many other cities are not on the list.
Small reminder, that 2015 was almost 10 years ago
Warsaw is playing with the big boys now
Missing Zurich and Geneva
Where is Bucharest? From what I know it surpassed Budapest and are in close to Barcelona .
Dublin should be on this list
I’m quite skeptic of a city’s GDP per capita as it’s heavily influenced by commuter flows. Basically dividing the production of 2M workers by 1M residents.
Average wages are not susceptible to commuters the same way. They are a much more reliable indicator of a city’s economy. (Don’t get me wrong, GDP per capita still means a lot for a country, just not for a city).
Why is Oslo up there? Norway isn’t EU.
This completes disqualifies Luxembourg (the city or the country really). Perhaps we should expand the metric?
Damn! Go Warsaw 🙂
Ah yes, like Dublin… awesome
GDP of a city is either hard to calculate or somewhat misleading. Do you take into account the profit of companies that are headquartered there? What about the income and spending of people that don’t live there, but commute there.
So many unknowns that make it a pretty useless number, IMO.
Where is bucharest? It has a GDP per capita of 55k
How is Berlin‘s GDP lower than Vienna‘s?

Bucharest theoretically 50.000 / year gdp …
So… once you leave London, most other UK cities may as well be part of the former Eastern Bloc. Is that right?

OECD datasource is in the picture.
Did anyone see Dusseldorf coming? I would’ve thought Frankfurt would come out on top in Germany, with all their bankers.
“1m + population cities”
More like metropolitan areas. A lot of these cities are way smaller
2015? So this data is like 10 years old, and completely irrelevant?
Wow, Warsaw really punching hard there.
Ah good old Thessaloniki
Amsterdam has less than one million people.
Translation: most expensive cities in Europe to live in
Where is Ireland?
Poland is indeed a F***ing beast.
Wow. Warsaw is indeed a Phoenix city. 80 years ago razed to the ground by the Germans and today GDP per capita so much higher than Berlin.
According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Romanian_counties_by_GDP), which took data from OECD, Bucharest had around $57k per capita in 2015 (scroll down a bit), yet it’s not on the list.
