<p><span style="background-color: inherit;">Leading Cities is committed to support the development of resilient cities by connecting the dots and filling existing gaps in the growing municipal innovation ecosystem. We are reducing the risk and cost of government innovation.&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="background-color: inherit;"> Since our launch, we have achieved several remarkable outcomes, from strengthening entrepreneurship ecosystems and brokering international trade agreements to publishing high impact research reports and sharing innovative public policies between municipalities.</span>&nbsp;</p>

<div>These challenges are fundamental to defining the quality of life residents, workers and visitors will have in tomorrow’s cities as well as their usability experience.</div><div>Smart Cities solutions enhance public management and help solve many of these urban challenges in a more efficient way.</div>

<div>“Resilient cities are those which have the ability to absorb, recover and prepare for future shocks (environmental, economic, social and institutional),” while they encourage sustainable development, prosperity, and comprehensive growth (OECD 2018).</div>

<div>We use data science to analyze and score publicly available data and compare a city’s score with that of a “model city.”</div><div><br></div><div>This “model city” is determined using the best results already achieved by a city in each of the 32 indicators analyzed. These indicators are divided into 10 categories:</div>

<div><strong style="color: rgb(37, 53, 108);">A fundamental shift in how cities are measured, proving an ample incentive for cities to achieve the advancements that their constituents deserve.</strong></div>

<div>The Leading Cities Rating, created in partnership with Bright Cities, uses a scale of A+ to F to score each indicator and each city overall.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

<div>We have created a rating system that does not include the inherent flaws of a traditional ranking—that no matter how good or bad the analyzed subjects are, the “number one” slot is always filled.</div><div><br></div>

<div><strong>Leading Cities </strong>Rating</div>

<div>Unlike a traditional ranking, the Leading Cities Rating system does not create a false sense of competition between cities, which results when one city must be forced to a lower ranking in order for another city to move up.</div>
