The survey asked 5,200 people from 16 countries questions about their perceptions of cities, ranked on everything from transportation and infrastructure to demographics and livability. Question topics touched on politics, economics and social issues. PwC, a London-based audit and tax consulting network, polled participants in December 2015, before the Brexit vote.
In a recent PWC survey, London ranked No. 1 as the perceived best city in the world. London took the top spot, because people said it has a "well-developed infrastructure," is well-connected globally and has a "well-developed legal framework." The city also received high marks in education and access to capital.
Paris came in at No. 2 because of its reputation as a trend-setter. Also, people think of it as a great destination for entertainment and food.
New York City placed third because of its"economic power," entertainment, setting trends and "having a well-developed physical and technological infrastructure. "Points against this city — traffic congestion and high cost of living.Here is the official ranking:
1. London
2. Paris
3. New York
4. Amsterdam

Nigeria cannot make 100,000 list. Nigeria belongs to the Caveman age of absolute darkness, but why they won't just keep quiet and know where they belong is still a mystery to me

It's called pride boy! Now when you take that and mix that up with ignorance (you dont know what you don't know) then you have a toxic mix.

You gotta understand some of these people don't have a good frame of reference so they are making comparison based on what they know. If a guy has not left Nigeria before how would he know how very very backward Nigeria is? It's only when you have been to the likes of Vienna or Bucharest before that you can understand where Naija is so abeg free the guy abeg.
I am sure if you never had the chance to go outside Naija you would probably would be in the dark (ignorant) as he is.

Lagos? Is Lagos even a city in the sense of it?
I have been to more than 50 cities all over the world, Lagos is nothing close to what a city looks like. Lagos is the worst city that I have been to in my life. Useless and hopeless place.
Even cotonou beat Lagos hands down. Not to talk of Accra, Gambia, Dakar, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Seychelles, Cape Verde, Tunis, Algiers, Morocco.
Haba, even in Africa, Lagos is the worst city that exists.
Been to Asia. Hong Kong, shanghai, Tokyo, Taiwan, Seoul. Many many others.

The OP has inverted the survey findings to fit his views.

There's no way Lagos can rate higher than Shenzhen ,Buenos Aires,Durban ,Rabat ,Melbourne,Houston and Algiers on livability and infrastructure.


Don't mind the blackheads who love massaging their useless egos.


Now Lagos as dirty as it is has become better than Munich and hamburg.

Although my parents are both Lagosian from Ikorodu, this news would have been a very welcome one if the writer in the article was referring to "Lagidi" but unfortunately he/she was talking about Lagos, Portugal and NOT Lagos, Nigeria. I still believe Lagos Nigeria will be on this list comes 2020 due to ongoing projects and infrastructures like Eko Atlantic, Eko light rail metro, 4th mainland bridge, Oshodi BRT hub etc.

For those haters with negatives comments..... go ahead! Lagos story will be like Balak and Balam in the bible, you can't stop Lagos getting to her glory.

But this one is not bad at all. I love Lagos but hate the traffic.
