Admin Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 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 liveable cities 2014: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plimthing Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm guessing the person who wrote the reviews had a chauffuer driven car from airport to his hotel in the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
