The City Momentum Index has been designed to capture evolution, to measure change and to identify which specific attributes will bring new visibility to some cities and reinforce the dynamism of others. The Index is not a measure of pure economic growth and performance, and therefore some powerful and successful cities such as Paris, Moscow, Seoul and Chicago do not appear in the Top 20, while rapidly-changing cities such as Shenzhen, Lima and Dubai do. The City Momentum Index begins to build bridges for the real estate market between those top real estate investment destinations that have an ease of attraction due to their many traditional strengths, and those cities with vision, hard work and energy that have the potential to ascend to new heights.
