Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai, known for being home to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, is truly the city of the future. The city has luxurious five-star hotels, pristine beaches, and many supercars driving through its streets.

In addition to this, Dubai is focusing on becoming a world leader in blockchain-powered government and aims to eliminate paper transactions for all transactions in the city.

San Francisco, United States of America

As the commercial and financial centre of the United States, San Francisco is home to hundreds of technology companies, including Google, Apple, Twitter, and Meta. It is the choice of tech startups around the world.

Public transportation is equipped with interactive touch screens, and the city has free Wi-Fi.

It is also the first city in the United States to legalize same-sex marriage.

Singapore

This small island city-state is one of the fastest growing urban centres in Asia.

It has a highly developed market economy. An extensive network of trade links makes it one of the busiest ports in the world.

Known for its top-notch educational system, Singapore also has a reputation for having a significantly low crime rate and enforcing strict crime and environmental laws.

Tokyo, Japan

Japan has been a centre of innovation in advanced technology since the beginning of the 21st century.

In Tokyo, Japan, the municipal government plans to build a high-tech, environmentally friendly city on reclaimed land in the bay area.

The new technologies will be used to make the city carbon neutral and better able to withstand future climate and health crises.

Bengaluru, India

Bengaluru in India, once a favourite destination for retirees, has become one of the world's fastest growing cities and has transformed into an IT hub.

Known as the Silicon Valley of India, the city has become a major destination for hiring top graduates from top educational institutions across India.

The city is home to tech companies such as Infosys, Wipro, IBM, Accenture, Google, Amazon, and Cisco.
