Best Cities in the World to live in
Melbourne tops it again as being the most “livable” city in the world according to 2015 Global Livability Ranking issued by The Economist Intelligence Unit. Almost 30 factors are put into consideration for the ranking such as healthcare, safety, education, infrastructure and environment in 140 cities around the world. The research shows that since 2010 the average livability has fallen by 1% around the world whereas stability and safety was observed to have dropped by 2.2%.
The wars taking place in the middle-eastern countries and Ukraine has had a spill over affect on France and Tunisia where the terrorist activities were seen to be creating unrest in the respective countries. On the other hand, fragile economy of Athens rather than the civil unrest lead to the decrease spending on the public service sector of the country whereas Kiev was noted to have fallen drastically and is now in the 10 least livable cities. As reported by the Economist Intelligence Unit, the countries that are ranked on the top 10 most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit are inclined to be “mid-sized cities in wealthier countries with a relatively low population density”. The notion well explains as to why the mega cities like New York and London are rated low in rank compared to Melbourne.
