So what's the remit? Time Out explained: "We wanted to know: are there great new venues opening? Can most people still afford to live there?
"Is it a place where travellers can discover the best of a city’s up-and-coming art, culture, food and drink?
"And most importantly: does it instinctively feel like a neighbourhood whose star is on the rise?
"Then we argued a bit, ranked each neighbourhood against 49 others from across the world, and came up with what we reckon is the definitive list of the planet’s cultural and culinary hotspots right now."
