Hugo Machin, Portfolio Manager, Schroders Global Cities: “This year’s clear winners are the larger US cities such as Houston and Dallas, which have benefitted from a re-appraisal of the transport score used in the rankings. This year, the Index places less weight on walk time and more on overall transport time as we believe cities should take a holistic approach to organising urban transport. Moreover, whilst it will hardly be a revelation to many, data continues to indicate that wealthy citizens are continuing to move to locations that have low crime rates and tax thresholds. This is why Austin, Miami and Charlotte have grown strongly in recent years with Austin now home to more fortune 500 companies than any other location in the US.”
