🗣 "where [Houston] truly takes off is in its economic heft and wealth, ranking Top 3 in the country for both Fortune 500 companies in town and our Patents subcategory, and Top 5 in our overall Prosperity index. While hometown companies like ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and Phillips 66 have ensured that 40% of Houston’s economy is tied directly or indirectly to oil and gas, the energy talent in the city has made it an unlikely green power destination. According to a recent McKinsey report, investment of up to $250 billion may be headed Houston’s way by 2040 to leverage the skilled workforce and existing infrastructure." 💪 Pound-for-pound, #Houston is definitely a top major city (1M+) in the US. Those of us who've lived here for awhile, know - and now the secret (unfortunately) is out. 💰 Relatively low cost of living 😋 Delicious food from all corners of the world ✈ Gateway to Latin America and direct flights to other major cities around the world 🏈 Professional baseball (let's go 'stros), basketball, football, and soccer (National Hockey League (NHL) - bring us a team!) 🏥 The top ranked cancer center in the US 🔌 THE Energy Capital of the World ... and the Energy Transition capital 🎶 Beyonce, Kenny Rogers, Travis Scott, Lizzo, Lyle Lovett, Clint Black, Meg, Arcade Fire, Bun B, Scarface... 🗺 Culture - ethnic diversity on par with NYC with a mix of the West + the South that makes Houston unique "Austin may get the attention, but the promise of the Lone Star State drawing Californians and New Yorkers is quietly being fulfilled in Houston" https://lnkd.in/g4_kb4TA

Head of Sustainability Solutions and Services for Continental Europe, Supporting organizations to make their Real Estate more sustainability and ESG focused | Real Estate | Sustainability | Business Development
Every time I see a ranking of the world best cities, I ask myself : Which came first, the gentrification or the Airbnb? City Centers of the most popular cities have become crowded false amusement parks. When homeowners turn their residences into Airbnb rentals, it may diminish the long-term rental availability in their neighborhoods. Property values may rise when deserted residences are filled by wealthy people who can afford the high prices. Gentrification is the process by which a neighborhood's population gradually shifts to include predominantly relatively wealthy residents. https://lnkd.in/d3Wp-He5

Expert in International Economic Promotion @ Barcelona City Council (Catalonia) | Economic Diplomacy, FDi & International Talent management, City Branding
Barcelona, the 8th World best city in 2024 according to Resonance. The defiant Catalan capital is as coveted as ever. The difference post-pandemic? It has taken a breath and is welcoming the worldon its own terms. Barcelona threads the needle as one of the world’s rare cities that ranks Top 10 in both the overall Livability (#10) and Lovability (#7) indices. It has near-perfect weather year-round, more than three miles of golden sandy beaches within city limits, iconic parks, striking architecture and diverse, era-spanning neighborhoods that are destinations at all hours, many fueled by the city’s Top 3 nightlife ranking. Barcelona City Council 's bold urban planning policies mean more citizen-focused place, increasingly self-propelled and non-vehicular,with more than 150 miles of new bike lanes and daring initiatives like Eixos Verds (Green Axis), a network of quieter roads that share space equally between cars, bikes and pedestrians, and are dotted with benches and community squares. The inspiration germinated from a local pilot project that, unsurprisingly, improved citizen mental health. The city is also no longer content with digital nomads, and is aggressively securing massive foreign investment, ranging from Lufthansa Group, the largest airline group in Europe, which is opening its first southern European digital hub here any day now, to U.S. real estate developer Panattoni, which will invest $300 million to build the largest data center in the region. #worldbestcities #qualityoflife #bcntechcapital #citybrand
