With this intense global competition, it is incredibly important for cities to construct an effective “city image” in order to remain distinct and competitive, and thus attract resources. Through a survey and analysis of the perceptions of over 2,000 respondents in 40 global cities, this study aims to not only help understand the image of cities, but to also contribute to the future branding strategies of 8 target cities: London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.

That is the moment when Iran is deemed to have complied with all its obligations in dismantling those parts of its nuclear programme that would soon have put it weeks away from being able to build a bomb. All nuclear-related sanctions, including the freezing of $100bn of Iranian assets, will be lifted. At the same time, Iran will apply the Additional Protocol of its safeguards agreement (subject to ratification by its parliament, the Majlis) with the International Atomic Energy Agency, a measure which gives the agency’s inspectors access to materials and sites beyond declared nuclear facilities.
