In order to discover the most creative cities in the world, we used a range of sources:
Instagram - used to find the number of hashtags used in relation to street art.
Ahrefs - used to find the monthly search data for street art searches.
YouGov - used to find the most popular musicians of all time in order to find their hometowns.
TripAdvisor - used to find the number of art galleries, theatres, music clubs, comedy clubs, architectural buildings, and monuments and statues.
Wikipedia - used to find square miles and population of each city.
Euromonitor - used to source the original list of cities.
With the data, we were then able to create a weighted ranking of each city, weighting each factor equally.
