The Schroders Global Cities Index is a ranking of the strongest city economies around the world

Cities are ranked on the basis of the following key real estate demand drivers:

Environmental impact

Physical risk

Policy risk

Wellbeing

Economic impact

Population aged 15 and over

Retail sales

Median household income

Gross Domestic Product (or 'GDP')

Innovation impact

Transport impact

Train

Bus

Airport

Road

Port

Both the current value and projected growth of each factor is considered. The resulting rankings guide the Schroder Global Cities team’s investment process. Once the most economically vibrant cities are identified by the Index, further work on local real estate supply/demand dynamics and company specifics is undertaken.
