European Cities Monitor 2009

• Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) has been conducting this survey since 1990. The survey provides an overview of the perceptions that corporate occupiers have about cities across Europe and their relative attractiveness. The underlying data is researched independently for C&W by TNS BMRB and 500 senior executives from leading European companies.
• For the last 20 years, London, Paris and Frankfurt have remained the top three cities for business in Europe. This year London extended its lead slightly on Paris, although the top two cities are still comfortably ahead of the nearest challengers.
• The top five cities also remained the same overall, but Barcelona edged above Brussels into fourth place.
