Emergers are cities that are witnessing emerging pockets of progress aimed at addressing social and urban inclusivity for their citizens.
According to Cushman & Wakefield, Ho Chi Minh City stands out with its favourable levels of population density, high levels of health care access and affordable residential renting.

The Inclusive Cities Barometer evaluates the inclusiveness of 44 cities in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa and 35 APAC cities, based on nearly 9,000 data points, 110 metrics across 4 dimensions and 12 subdimensions.
The cities represented in the Barometer are at varying stages of their journey towards more inclusive and vibrant urban environments. Instead of ranking cities by performance, it measures their progress relative to these starting points, highlighting exemplary successes and providing actionable roadmap for improvement./.
