Adding energy, vibrancy, creativity and digital age talent to cities, young people are at the centre of urbanization.
The YouthfulCities Index 2014, recently revealed in London, England, ranks 25 world's top cities across the globe from the perspective of young people.
Twenty-five cities around the world were analyzed from the perspective of young people, based on 80 unique indicators in 16 categories such as civil participation, diversity and transport.
Amplifying the voice of urban youth globally while inspiring change locally, the index examines how cities are serving their youth, and asks how youth can be better integrated and engaged in their cities.
