The world’s most expensive cities list once again places major global hubs like New York, Singapore, Geneva, and London at the top. These cities remain the costliest due to high housing demand, expensive transportation, elevated food prices, and premium public services.
New York faces extreme housing shortages, high demand, expensive daily expenses, and world-class cultural attractions, pushing overall costs upward.
Singapore remains costly due to its dense population, reliance on imports, and advanced infrastructure and security systems.
Geneva is expensive because of Switzerland’s strong currency, low inflation, and the presence of international institutions increasing housing costs.
Paris sees high spending driven by tourism, limited housing in the city center, and EU-level taxation.
London’s financial prominence, foreign investment, and pricey transportation keep it among the world’s costliest cities.
Tokyo stays expensive due to its tech-driven economy, dense population, seismic risks, and reliance on imported goods.
San Francisco ranks high because of Silicon Valley, extreme housing shortages, and expensive services.
Boston experiences high prices due to its universities, healthcare system, and transportation needs shaped by seasonal weather.
Los Angeles is costly due to Hollywood, a car-dependent lifestyle, and natural disaster–related infrastructure expenses.
Copenhagen remains expensive because of high taxes, welfare services, green energy policies, and climate-related infrastructure needs.
