The world's best cities for 2024 have been revealed and it's London that's number one followed by Paris and New York.

That's according to an annual report by Resonance Consultancy, which ranks the top 100 from 270-plus cities with populations of more than one million.

The results are based on scores across three key categories – liveability, lovability and prosperity, with dozens of factors taken into account. These include educational attainment, GDP per capita, poverty rate, the number of quality restaurants, shops and nightclubs; walkability, the number of mapped bike routes, quality parks and museums; and the number of recommendations on sites such as Tripadvisor, Google, Facebook and Instagram.

The top ten chart features four cities on the Asian continent, four in Europe and two in the U.S. Scroll down for the full 100 - where does your favourite city rank

5. Singapore​

'Remarkable dining and shopping' are what whets travellers' appetites in Singapore, according to the report.

The city boasts 'one of Asia's most modern, well-organised and captivating urban centres' with 'staggering' retail choices from haute couture to electronics, it adds.

Its culinary scene is said to be boosted by the city's popular chilli crab dish and Singapore Sling cocktail. And to round things off, its hotel offering includes the 1,000-room Marina Bay Sands, which features a 'colossal rooftop infinity pool'.

4. Tokyo​

Tokyo, says the report, has long held on to its top spot as one of the most liveable metropolises on the planet.

Ranked fourth overall, it takes the crown for the world's best shopping helped by its 'boutique shops' and 'luxury department stores'.

Despite 'the disastrous 2021 Summer Olympics' hosted in Tokyo, the city has gained 2,000 new hotels as a result, the paper shows.

And more improvements are on the horizon, with the expansion of Haneda Airport and a planned fast rail link into the city, it adds.

3. New York​

'This city is back', according to Resonance Consultancy, which hails New York for its museums, theatres and music scene, which witnessed the birth of hip hop in 1973.

'For those who prefer their immersion outdoors, classics like the High Line and Central Park are joined by the city's newest green space, Little Island - 2.4 acres floating on the Hudson near the Meatpacking District on the site of an old pier,' it adds.

'Like most things here, you have to see it to believe it.'

The report concludes: 'The greatest city in America is urban recovery writ large, with a dizzying roster of new shows, hotels and parks - and record real estate prices. But the Big Apple is always worth the price of admission, especially in these glory days.'

2. Paris​

The report picks out multiple improvements and exciting initiatives in runner-up Paris.

There's the soon-to-reopen Notre Dame and the nearby 'Paris Plages urban beach'; the €250million renovation of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport's Terminal 1 - 'full of the latest tech to improve the traveler experience'; and a 'flood of new and renovated hotels'.

The report also praises the city for 'codifying pedestrianism and alfresco living' after Covid, adding: 'To ensure that cars didn’t take back control of Paris streets [the mayor] legislated that the 60,000 parking spots loaned to restaurants for outdoor seating simply remained as outdoor seating. The same went for closing off lesser-driven streets entirely for public walking and seating for local businesses in need of additional outdoor space.'

The study also points to next year's Olympic Games, which will see its Champs-Élysées 'transformed for the Games into a massive garden'

1. London​

And the crown goes to... London, the 'capital of capitals' that 'reigns over all global cities' as the best metropolis in the world, the report declares.

The study proclaims it as the most liveable and the most lovable mecca, solidified by its winning culture and education attainment.

What's more, its culinary scene 'is being reborn' with 'big-name openings' amid dozens of 'equally daring hotels', new metro stops and the recently opened Elizabeth Line.

The report concludes: 'Despite crippling Covid lockdowns and economic devastation. Despite Brexit. Despite a war in Europe. The city is more indomitable and part of the global discourse than ever. From the Queen's death, to last autumn's chaotic drama at 10 Downing Street that finally calmed down with Rishi Sunak becoming prime minister, only to take heavy local election losses this spring, London is rarely quiet these days.'
