Dallas isn\u2019t as great now <\/a>as it was last year, but it\u2019s still quite nice, according to an annual list of the best cities in the world.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Conducted annually by Resonance Consultancy, the Best Cities list ranks Dallas at No. 78 among the world\u2019s top urban economies. \u201cMaverick spirit runs through new investment, luxury and the population, starting at the airport,\u201d reads the pun-intended report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s impossible to ignore that even this lofty placement is 23 spots lower than last year\u2019s No. 55 ranking.<\/a><\/p>\n

To pull this list together, they checked out over 400 cities worldwide<\/a>, looking at key stats and also what people living in and visiting those cities thought, based on ratings and reviews. The entire process also took into account factors such as how easy and enjoyable a city is to live in, as well as its financial performance\u2014\u201dlivability, lovability, and prosperity.\u201d The \u201clovability\u201d aspect, which caught our attention, was based on factors such as nightlife, shopping, culture, food, and attractions\u2014essentially all the enjoyable aspects that make a city a great place to be, according to the individuals who compiled the list.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the drop, the survey had some really nice things to say about Big D.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hospitality sector is booming: Harwood District flaunts a Swiss\u2011Texan swagger with Kengo Kuma\u2019s 22-story Michelin Key H\u00f4tel Swexan; the JW Marriott opened in the country\u2019s largest contiguous Arts District in 2023; and a flurry of flagships are in the works,\u201d the report states. \u201cInvestors tracking fundamentals see that DFW added 59,000 jobs since March 2024 \u2013 second only to New York \u2013 and finance jobs now outpace Wall Street on what locals call \u2018Y\u2019all Street\u2019 (watch the #20 ranking for Economic Output and #23 for Large Companies rise).\u201d<\/p>\n

Helping Dallas\u2019 cause in the study were high rankings for weather (No. 8) and airports (No. 10). In fact, the study is really impressed with the airport here, writing, \u201cAt the airport with the third-highest passenger count in the world, American Airlines and DFW just greenlit a $4 billion Terminal F that will double gate capacity by 2030, with Terminal C\u2019s current refresh aimed at 2026 FIFA World Cup crowds. The city\u2019s global Top 10 Airports ranking will keep ascending.\u201d<\/p>\n

London again takes the No. 1 spot on the list, with New York City in second place. Adding insult to injury for Dallasites is that Houston landed way above Dallas, nearly in the spot we were in last year at No. 58.\u00a0 But, hey, there is some consolation to be had in this year\u2019s rankings. Austin only reached No. 87, and Philadelphia, home to the hated Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles, also landed behind us at No. 88.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty striking how many fewer U.S. cities made the top 100 list this year\u2014only 19, way down from the 38 we saw last year. American cities also slid quite a bit in the overall rankings; just five cracked the top 50, compared to 17 a year ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not great that Dallas dropped on the Renaissance Consultancy list, but it could be even worse. Being located anywhere in the top 100 cities in the world is quite an honor, after all. At least we didn\u2019t fall completely off the list, like Phoenix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A world-class view of Dallas.
