Paris ranked third among world's best cities in 2026 Oxford Economics index
Oxford Economics' 2026 Global Cities Index puts Paris third worldwide, behind New York and London, with a standout score for quality of life.
Why it matters
Oxford Economics' 2026 Global Cities Index scores the world's 1,000 largest cities across five categories — economy, human capital, quality of life, environment and governance. New York topped the table with a perfect 100, London came second at 98.8, and Paris third at 93.4, with Paris scoring a particularly strong 88.1 on quality of life.
The full picture
European cities led the field on quality of life, environment and governance, while five US cities — New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Boston and San Jose — cracked the global top ten. The index itself was released on September 15 and picked up by Paris local media this weekend as a city story.
