World's most expensive cities to build in

摘要

New York in the US is the world's most expensive city to build in, according to the 2019 International Construction Cost Comparison report by global design and consultancy organisation Arcadis. The second most expensive city is also located in the US, San Francisco. Hong Kong was number three on the list, followed by Copenhagen in Denmark and Geneva in Switzerland. Factors that influence a city's position in the index include cost of living, labour and materials, overall productivity of the industry in that city, and the complexity of projects in that city.
