The Economist has released its annual list of "most livable cities". The top ten include three in Australia, three in Canada, two in Japan, and one each in Austria and Denmark:
1: Vienna
2: Melbourne
3: Osaka
4: Calgary
5: Sydney
6: Vancouver
7 (tie): Tokyo
7 (tie): Toronto
9: Copenhagen
10: Adelaide
The highest-ranking American city is Honolulu, at #23. NYC placed #57.
Auckland, Perth, Helsinki, and Hamburg all fell off the top ten despite scoring close to where they scored last year... so at least some of the shifts in the list are because other cities are getting better.
But take these rankings with a grain of salt. Puerto Rico as a whole placed at #89 on the list of cities.
Analysis: Forbes and CBC.
