Paris comes out on top of the world’s most expensive cities according to the new survey from the Economist - available here - The survey assesses the cost of living by comparing housing, food, clothing, transport and utility bills and the like in 132 cities around the world. This is a super chart to use when teaching about purchasing power parity adjustments when comparing and contrasting living standards between countries!
