Toronto ranks as 4th 'most reputable' city in the world

If you needed any more reason to believe why Toronto is great, it has recently been named the fourth most reputable city in the world by the Reputation Institute’s City RepTrak ranking.

The global survey is based on over 22,000 consumer ratings collected in the G8 countries. Cities were ranked based on levels of trust, esteem, admiration, and respect.

Sydney, Australia, came in first place, but Canadian cities dominated the list as Montreal and Vancouver were ranked seventh and tenth, respectively.

The study singled out Toronto particularly as a “comeback” city as it did not place in the top 10 list in the previous two years. This also marked a comeback year for Montreal, which placed tenth in 2014 but failed to make it to the list in 2015. Meanwhile, Vancouver ranked seventh in 2014 and fifth in 2015.

According to the survey, the top-10 cities made the cut because they are “well developed and have structure in place.”
