Melbourne world’s most liveable city again
Melbourne has been voted the world’s most liveable city for the seventh year running.
The Economist’s annual global liveability survey has never had a city hold the No.1 mantle for seven consecutive years in its 15 year history.
The annual survey assesses 140 cities and ranks them according to their stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. Only “cities or business centres that people might want to live in or visit”, as determined by the survey’s authors, are included, so cities such as Kabul and Baghdad are left off the list.
All five Australian cities included in the survey are ranked inside the top 20: Adelaide at equal fifth place with Calgary in Canada; Perth ranked seventh; Sydney 11th, and Brisbane 16th.
Vienna came in behind Melbourne as the world’s second-most liveable city.
