North Carolina City Makes List of the ‘World’s Best Cities’
It’s pretty cool to be named one of the United States’ best cities, but it’s even better to be named one of the world’s best cities. There are a lot of factors that go into being named the best, too. Those include economy, environment, opportunities and basically what kind of life residents can lead. Well, one North Carolina city recently made the list of the world’s best cities. I’m proud to see so many delightful areas make the list, including this one.
North Carolina Town Named One of the World’s Best Cities
The study comes from Worldsbestcities.com. In it, they rank some of the world’s best cities, specifically, the ones in America. As for methodology, they ranked U.S. cities with populations of more than 500,000 by using a mix of statistical performance and qualitative evaluations by locals and visitors. They also used 26 areas divided into six core categories. The population numbers come from from the U.S. Census, American Community Survey 2021, which is the most recent survey available.
Before we get to North Carolina, let’s look at the No. 1 best city in the world that’s in America. It’s New York City. They say that after a difficult two-plus years, due to the pandemic, “few cities on the planet are as busy making up for lost time as NYC.” In the article, they note that New York City has made major efforts towards bringing back tourism after the pandemic, and that city leaders have helped make the Big Apple a hot tourist spot once again. It’s also ranked No. 1 in the U.S. for sights and landmarks. It doesn’t get much better than visiting the Statue of Liberty, after all.
So, which North Carolina town is one of the world’s best cities? It’s Charlotte, coming in at No. 31 on the list. The outlet calls Charlotte, “Affluent, easy to love for its southern charm and open for business and pleasure.” They love the city for its affordability and prosperity. I’m happy to see Charlotte get the honor.
