All 12 cities in JLL’s European Top 12 are in the north-west of the Continent.
JLL’s research highlights Europe’s best-performing cities on the basis of their short-term socio-economic and real estate momentum in combination with other measures of economic strength.
In rank order, the cities in this year’s European Top 12 are: London, Dublin, Munich, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Edinburgh, Paris, Oslo, Randstad, Berlin, Manchester and Glasgow.
Technology, transparency, business-friendly environments and robust governance are cited as the main reasons for the region’s success.
Rosemary Feenan, director, global research at JLL, said: “It is visionary leadership, as evident in London, Paris and Manchester, which is helping to propel these cities forward.”
