Admin Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 The Economist Intelligence Unit has just released the results of its annual 'Global Liveability Survey'. 140 cities worldwide were surveyed under five categories: stability healthcare culture and environment education infrastructure. Scores in each category and sub-category are compiled and weighted to give a total out of 100. 100 is considered ideal and 1 intolerable. The top cities and indeed much of the rankings remained similar to last year, with Australian and New Zealand cities landing five of the top 10 spots. Canadian cities made up another three of the top 10 positions. Top 10 most livable cities (unchanged in 2013 from 2012): 1 Melbourne, Australia, 97.5 2 Vienna, Austria, 97.4 3 Vancouver, Canada, 97.3 4 Toronto, Canada, 97.2 5 Calgary, Canada, 96.6 5 Adelaide, Australia, 96.6 7 Sydney, Australia, 96.1 8 Helsinki, Finland, 96.0 9 Perth, Australia, 95.9 10 Auckland, New Zealand, 95.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well I'm scratching my head wondering why Perth isn't No 1!! Got to say we had a good laugh in the office today with our new Melbourne gal and we pointed out now she's left for Perth, Melbournes gone back to number 1!! She's laughed her socks off but admitted she loves Perth more ha ha!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
