This week, the annual World’s Most Liveable City survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit came out. For the fifth year in a row, Vancouver took the top spot. Four of Australia’s biggest cities are in the top ten. Actually, this year Melbourne (which I will post about shortly) claimed second place from Vienna. Sydney came in seventh.
The Economist Intelligence Unit survey ranks cities based on 30 factors such as healthcare, culture and environment, and education and personal safety. Here is their top 10:
1. Vancouver, Canada
2. Melbourne, Australia
3. Vienna, Austria
4. Toronto, Canada
5. Calgary, Canada
6. Helsinki, Finland
7. Sydney, Australia
8. (equal) Perth, Australia
9. (equal) Adelaide, Australia
10. Auckland, New Zealand
New York held steady at 56th this year...
56th, but steady: you can count on it. You know what you get. And face it, the Economist probably doesn't take into consideration all its features like.... well, like.... Waaaaaa - come back!
