Dubai came second overall with a score of 72, just after New York. Secondly, the Emirate ranked third in megacities in its relationship with the authorities division, with an open and reliable dialogue with centrally enabled authorities for widespread satisfaction. Dubai scored an overall of 55 out of 100.

Dubai bagged this achievement as the emirate has constantly worked on capabilities to improve residents’ well-being and satisfaction while accommodating their needs.

BSG has comprehensively examined the cities’ success in upholding and improving population happiness, showcasing their respective rankings against global peers across key dimensions. The rankings were determined based on performance across the quality of life, economic opportunities, social capital, speed of change, and relationships with authorities.
