Ranking cities around the world by transportation accessibility 🔗 🌍 🚇 🚊 🚙 🚲

A trio of researchers at the Polytechnic University of Turin has ranked the major cities of the world by transportation accessibility to highlight inequality in major urban areas.

When looking at velocity and cohesion, they found that Berlin ranked the best in the world, followed by Paris and then Copenhagen. Out of 32 major cities, Mexico City came in dead last. The researchers suggest a city’s ranking is important because it highlights accessibility equality in a given city. Extremely long commute times, for example, can make it difficult for low wage earners to make a living in large urban areas. The researchers also found that when looking at city sociality only, the rankings were quite different—Paris came out on top, followed by New York and then Madrid.
