The BARNES City Index 2023 is a direct reflection of the profound upheavals of the past 3 years. At the top of the ranking are five cities that have been able to reassure investors during this uncertain period: Paris at the top, three American cities in 2nd, 3rd and 4th places — Miami, New York and Austin — and Dubai in 5th position.
Among traditional safe havens, London is ranked 7th, ahead of Geneva, Madrid, Milan and Rome, confirming a certain bipolarity of this ranking between North America and Europe. With Tokyo standing alone in 6th position. At the threshold of the Top 10 appears a new entrant, Istanbul, which each year attracts more investors for its strategic location at the junction between Europe and Asia.
