Dublin ranking slips seven places

Dublin has dropped seven places in a measure of the world’s most reputable cities but still outranks the likes of Berlin, Washington DC and Hong Kong.

The annual City RepTrak survey conducted by international management consultancy, the Reputation Institute ranks 100 world cities in terms of 16 social metrics including infrastructure, business environment, education, safety, living conditions, emotional appeal and public perception.

Last year’s survey saw Dublin jump from 30 to 20 in the list. The authors note however, that the top 30 cities are separated by very few points and Dublin is, effectively, only around two points off the top 10.
