European cities monitor 2009
The city of Milan is in the top ten of Europe’s major business cities, as emerges from the European Cities Monitor 2009 survey conducted by Cushman & Wakefield. It ranks 10th (it was 13th in 2008). Also Rome gains positions, ranking from Rome 25th to 22nd.
The European Cities Monitor examines a number of key issues that cities need to address to draw in new corporates and indicates how effectively each European city is perceived to perform and where improvements are seen to have been made over the last year.
The underlying data was researched independently for Cushman & Wakefield by TNS BMRB and 500 senior executives from leading European companies gave their views on Europe’s leading business cities.
The survey focuses on 12 key factors, such as economic and institutional climate, easy access to markets, customers or clients replaces availability of quality staff, quality of telecommunications which edges further ahead of transport links with other cities and internationally.
