The Atlantic picks up our Best City Contest
The Atlantic Cities just posted an interview with one of the judges of our Best City in the World contest, EIU Cost of Living editor Jon Copestake:
Another great related article to read on the subject, also in The Atlantic Cities, is “Why Ranking Cities is Such a Tricky Business,” by Toronto-based Globe and Mail writer John Lorinc, who lays out the pitfalls and oversights that can occur with international city ranking press coverage.
Would love to hear people’s thoughts on the EIU’s new open-market, open-data approach to encouraging new methods for measuring liveability, in light of Lorinc’s piece. With data enthusiasts already dabbling with different techniques on our real-time Best City Contest topic page, things are already getting interesting.
