First, the 2019 edition has significantly increased the number of variables in relation to the cities, including a total of 96 indicators – 13 more than in the previous edition. The nine main dimensions of our model are human capital, social cohesion, the economy, public management, governance, the environment, mobility and transportation, urban planning, international outreach, and technology.Īs in every edition, we have tried to improve the structure and coverage of the CIMI and this edition has been no exception. The IESE Cities in Motion Index aims to contribute to this better understanding of the reality of cities by providing an objective, wide-ranging and holistic index that covers different key dimensions of metropolises. In today’s increasingly urban world, it is becoming more and more critical to expand the knowledge and tools available to better understand the different factors that allow cities to improve their competitiveness, ensure their sustainability and enhance the quality of life of their inhabitants. Over the past years, we have observed how various cities, companies and other social actors have used our study as a benchmark when it comes to understanding the reality of cities through comparative analysis.

For the sixth consecutive year, we are pleased to present the new edition of our IESE Cities in Motion Index (CIMI).
