Say city faces challenges in infra, governance and public services
THE Oxford Economics Global Cities Index 2025 has Kochi in 420th position globally and eighth in India — making it the top-ranked city in Kerala. But experts caution against reading too much into the ranking, warning that the city still faces serious challenges in infrastructure, mobility, governance, and public services.
The index, which ranks cities based on five key pillars — economics, human capital, quality of life, environment, and governance — also lists several other Kerala cities: Thrissur (429 globally, 9th in India), Kozhikode (497/11), Kottayam (552/16), Kollam (583/20), Thiruvananthapuram (608/24), and Kannur (663/32).
In the 2024 listing, Kochi ranked 521 globally, while Thrissur was positioned 550th. Kozhikode was 580th, Kottayam 649th, Thiruvananthapuram 686th and Kannur 759th.
