Singapore has moved up to become the fifth most internationally connected and influential city in the world, according to Kearney’s latest Global Cities Outlook .
According to Media OutReach, the city-state, which placed seventh last year, rose to the fifth position this year, surpassing Beijing, due to increased business activity, success in the human capital dimension, an almost perfect score in ease of entry, and strong digital capabilities.
Other Southeast Asian cities that showed significant progress in the rankings include Kuala Lumpur, which jumped 17 places to 55th, and Bangkok, which climbed from 45th to 34th. Bangkok’s progress came from better performance in business activity, cultural experience, and information exchange.
