The four-day summit runs from October 27 to 30 under the theme “The Key to Prosperity: Unlocking New Frontiers of Growth.” The event aims to bring together global leaders to discuss strategies for inclusive, sustainable growth.
London has emerged as the world’s most resilient city, followed by Amsterdam, New York, Dubai, and Toronto. The index evaluates cities across five core dimensions: Institutional Governance, Sustainable Finance, Technology & Innovation, Social & Human Capital, and Global Integration. The study emphasizes that “systemic readiness and diverse local strategies” are vital for building sustainable and resilient urban futures.
Delhi and Mumbai, two Indian cities, are also part of the list. Although not among the top five, their inclusion reflects India’s growing significance in the global urbanization landscape and the urgent need to address vulnerabilities around governance, infrastructure, and climate adaptation.
Cities were scored on a scale of 1-100, with London having a top score of 80.9. Mumbai was placed at 23rd position with a score of 58.7, while Delhi was placed at 28th with a score of 54.6 in the index.
The inaugural Global Cities Resilience Index sends a clear warning that cities can no longer remain passive in the face of disruption, as their resilience will shape not only local survival but the broader trajectory of global development. The Index shows that wealth alone does not guarantee resilience.
Building resilient cities requires coordinated action. Policymakers must move from reactive crisis management to proactive system-building; investors need new financial instruments that support long-term capacity; businesses should strengthen local economies and supply chains through partnerships; and citizens must engage in civic life, hold leaders accountable, and back long-term resilience policies to ensure sustainable, inclusive urban growth.
The top 10 most resilient cities in the FII Global Cities Resilience Index 2025 are:
1. London
2. Amsterdam
3. New York
4. Dubai
5. Toronto
6. Singapore
7. Paris
8. Tokyo
9. Los Angeles
10. Stockholm
FII9 will draw global leaders to discuss strategies for inclusive, sustainable growth. Under this year’s theme, “The Key to Prosperity: Unlocking New Frontiers of Growth,” the event aims to bring together the world’s most influential leaders to tackle global challenges and chart pathways toward inclusive, sustainable prosperity. The conference will gather heads of state, CEOs, investors, policymakers, and technology innovators, all focused on actionable strategies to accelerate progress for humanity.
