WHAT IS PLACE?_
PLACES, LARGE AND SMALL, COMPETE FOR TALENT, TRADE, AND INVESTMENT
THE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF A PLACE WHETHER IT BE A CITY, REGION OR COUNTRY, WAS HISTORICALLY DRIVEN BY GEOGRAPHY – PROXIMITY AND ACCESS TO RESOURCES, MARKETS OR TRANSPORTATION ROUTES.
THE MORE FREELY PEOPLE AND CAPITAL MOVE AROUND THE WORLD, THE MORE VALUED QUALITY OF PLACE BECOMES.
A DESTINATION’S QUALITY OF PLACE AND PERCEIVED “BRAND” INCREASINGLY DETERMINES WHERE TALENT, TOURISM AND INVESTMENT FLOW.
ESTIMATED VALUE OF COCA-COLA’S “BRAND” IS $79.2 BILLION - INTERBRAND 2013
BRAND EQUITY_
Brand Equity is “the set of assets and liabilities linked to a brand’s name and symbol that adds or subtracts from the value provided by a product or service to a firm and/or that firm’s customers.”David Aaker, Managing Brand Equity
PLACE EQUITY_
Place Equity is the set of assets and liabilities linked to a city’s name and identity that adds or subtracts from the perceived attractiveness of a city as a place to live, visit and invest
WHAT ASSETS ARE IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING THE VALUE OF PLACE?
WE INTERVIEWED MORE THAN 1,200 RECENT U.S. TRAVELERS AGED 18-34 AND ASKED THEM WHAT WERE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN CHOOSING A VACATION DESTINATION AND IN CHOOSING A CITY TO LIVE.

MEASURES TO BENCHMARK PLACES ON QUANTITATIVE FACTORS SUCH AS CRIME AND AIR QUALITY ARE READILY AVAILABLE, BUT HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE QUALITY OF FACTORS SUCH AS RESTAURANTS, ARTS, AND NIGHTLIFE?
SOCIAL SHAPES PLACE_
SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS SUCH AS TRIP ADVISOR AND YELP CONTAIN MORE THAN 270 MILLION CONSUMER GENERATED RATINGS AND REVIEWS FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PLACES AND EXPERIENCES AROUND THE WORLD.
OUR APPROACH TO MEASURING THE RELATIVE PLACE EQUITY OF ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER IS TO UTILIZE A COMBINATION OF CORE STATISTICS AND CONSUMER GENERATED RATINGS AND REVIEWS.
TO CREATE THE U.S. PLACE EQUITY INDEX, WE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED DATA ON 24 FACTORS AND GROUPED THE RESULTS INTO 6 CATEGORIES._
1. Place: Perceived quality of a city’s natural and built environment
2. Product: A city’s key institutions, attractions and infrastructure
3. Programming: The arts, culture and entertainment in a city
4. People: Educational attainment, immigration and diversity of a community
5. Prosperity: Employment, income, poverty and companies
6. Promotion: Quantity of articles, references and recommendations online
