Introduction
The 2013 edition of the Global Power City Index includes data from newly conducted surveys on the residents of all the cities included in the index to reflect most recent trends. A careful review of the data of some indicators was also performed.
In addition, every effort was made to assess the ‘Urban Intangible Value’ of cities, a new value that will affect the urban power of a city in the future and which appeals to human sensitivities such as efficiency, accuracy, speed, cleanliness and security and safety of urban management, rather than just the city’s physical aspects.
A simulation was carried out regarding the predicted effects on Tokyo of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games, using the results from monitoring the city’s comprehensive power over the five-year period since the GPCI was released in 2008.
It is hoped that these results will provide a benchmark in better understanding the strengths and weaknesses that Tokyo and other global cities possess, while offering a valuable resource to the public sector in the development of urban policy planning and private sector corporate strategies.
Attached CD-R contains the each city's score of 70 indicators and some principle data to make up the indicators such as GDPs, and more.

GPCI also includes Function- and Actor-Specific Ranking, which evaluate the cities from the viewpoints of actors such as internationally active "Manager", "Researcher", "Artist", and "Visitor", and local "Resident". more...
