Throughout history, cities have attracted investors, artists, entrepreneurs, and wealthy individuals from beyond their native countries and regions. The Hanseatic cities of the 13th and 14th centuries, for example, were at the heart of the revival of trade at the end of the Middle Ages. They were also places where more freedom reigned. Genoa and Bruges took up the mantle from the 15th century onward. Starting in the 17th century, Geneva and Switzerland became popular destinations because of their freedom and security.
Beirut, in the Middle East, acquired the status of a financial center and a meeting point of cultures in the 1960s and ’70s. Starting in the 1980s, Singapore also played a key role as an economic and financial magnet in Asia. In recent years, Dubai and the United Arab Emirates have emerged as preferred destinations for investing and securing capital.
