Vancouver has been named the world's most reputable city, according to an international poll conducted by the Reputation Institute.
Reasons listed include Vancouver's:
- effective administration;
- adequate transportation infrastructure, communications networks and public institutes;
- adherence to progressive social, economic and environmental policies; and
- best overall destination in which to live and work.
The Copenhagen-based organization annually surveys more than 18,700 people in 15 countries on the reputations of 100 cities that are selected according to population, gross domestic product and volume of tourism.
The findings are then analyzed and published in an annual report called the City RepTrak.
"Vancouver has successfully built a strong brand and reputation," said Nicolas Georges Trad, who is executive partner of the Reputation Institute.
"Being selected as the world's most reputable city proves that Vancouver is much more than just a pretty place."
