Anholt – Gfk City Brands Index Methodology

The Anholt-GfK City Brands Index (CBISM) measures the power and appeal of each city’s brand image. The study gives a holistic perspective of each city, looking at six key dimensions:

1. Presence: Based on the city's international status and standing and the global familiarity/knowledge of the city. It also measures the city's global contribution in science, culture and governance.

2. Place: Exploring people's perceptions about the physical aspect of each city in terms of pleasantness of climate, cleanliness of environment and how attractive its buildings and parks are.

3. Pre-requisites: Determines how people perceive the basic qualities of the city; whether they are satisfactory, affordable and accommodating, as well as the standard of public amenities such as schools, hospitals, transportation and sports facilities.

4. People: Reveals whether the inhabitants of the city are perceived as warm and welcoming, whether respondents think it would be easy for them to find and fit into a community that shares their language and culture and whether they would feel safe.

5. Pulse: Measures the perception that there are interesting things to fill free time with and how exciting the city is perceived to be in regard to new things to discover.

6. Potential: Measures the perception of economic and educational opportunities within the city, such as how easy it might be to find a job, whether it's a good place to do business or pursue a higher education.
