Here's the survey (list is on one page so it's not a click bait sideshow). Any neighborhoods in your city make the list? Little Five Points in Atlanta came in at #25.
The list is an ok reference point but not much more than that. They omit a lot and I doubt most of their "global" team have even set foot in most of these places or at best only a handful of them.
These seem like pretty interesting neighborhoods, and I do like the several of them on the list that I have been before. With the neighborhoods I've been in, I wouldn't really even put them at the top for those cities. For example, downtown LA has made massive strides, but there's no way I'd put that up as the "coolest" neighborhood for the city. Same goes with Bed-Stuy which takes a backseat to Bushwick and Ridgewood overall.

I think that's the point. Soho long past its "cool" status compared to other more current neighbourhoods, e.g. Camden Town, Hoxton, London Fields to name a few.
This list seems to concentrate on resurgent neighbourhoods even post-covid, or some that have rekindled some of their past glory like Soho in London which was becoming more Posh and less "cool".
I lived in LA for 25 years and this is my first time learning DTLA as one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world. How interesting.
