The Best Cities podcast explores the stories, people and strategies behind the world’s top-performing cities—places that are vibrant, prosperous and coveted by investors, visitors and talent, and loved by their residents. Our goal with Best Cities—both our globally recognized city ranking and this podcast—is to give places and organizations the data-based insights and proven tools to empower their city’s competitive identity and its appeal to citizens today and in the future. The Best Cities podcast is produced by Resonance Consultancy, a place branding firm specializing in solving complex tourism, real estate and economic development challenges with a unique combination of research, strategy, branding, marketing and placemaking. It’s hosted by Resonance President Chris Fair and VP, Strategy & Economic Development, Steven Pedigo.
