In Gensler’s latest City Pulse 2025 survey, which captured input from 33,000 people across 65 global cities, Taipei emerged as the city with the highest “staying power”, with 64% of respondents indicating they plan to stay in their city. This puts Taipei ahead of Ho Chi Minh City (61%), Singapore (59%), Sydney (58%), and Berlin (51%).
