Resilience and Prosperity: Rudolph Lohmeyer, Partner at Kearney, highlights the resilience, economic success, and talent attraction efforts contributing to Gulf cities’ post-pandemic achievements.

Asian Advancements: Asian global hubs like Seoul, Osaka, and Chennai show significant progress.

US Metropolitan Success: Second-tier US metropolitan areas successfully attract talent and capital, emerging as competitors to established global cities.
