number 5 where is the UK France and the
US although the United Kingdom France
and the USA are undoubtedly major
players in the global economy and
feature some of the most impressive
cities in the world
none of them managed to crack the top
ten New York London Paris the Kip C you
name it
nothing one of the biggest factors was
the threat of terrorism which weighs
heavy on Western Europe and the US this
hugely drove down the surveyed stability
rank as did the recent migrant crisis
the EIU report stated that civil unrest
has grown in the u.s. due to several
factors including the deaths of several
African Americans at the hands of police
officers and several of President
Trump’s policies resulting in massive
protests violence could have rusted over
the weekend
number four what makes us a top ten
worthy forget about fancy buildings and
nightlife up to top ten most livable
cities in the world eight had a perfect
survey score in education while nine
held a perfect score in health care a
common factor throughout almost all of
the top ten was population size and
density massive cities with dense
populations way down the infrastructure
score and lead to higher rates of crime
whereas medium-sized cities in wealthy
countries with spread out populations
allow for a more comfortable lifestyle
number three what makes a city bottom
ten worthy on the other hand the
dominant issue in the bottom ten cities
was conflict as civil unrest terrorism
and war dragged down their scores the
simple fact is that while conflict
affects stability
the most it also has a ripple effect on
other things such as the economy
infrastructure goods services and
healthcare all of which can lead to
higher crime rates and more number two
what are the top ten least livable
cities Ukraine’s Kiev was the only
European city to rank in the bottom ten
with civil unrest and ongoing conflict
in the Donbass region resulting in a low
stability ranked ranks nine and eight
went to Dwolla Cameroon and Harare
Zimbabwe thanks to the lowest healthcare
scores in the bottom 10 all those
scoring relatively high in education and
infrastructure Pakistan Karachi tied
with Algeria’s Algiers in the next two
slots Port Moresby of Papua New Guinea
and Dhaka of Bangladesh
all had progressively low infrastructure
and healthcare scores earning them
places at five and four the threat of
the Islamic state resulted in Tripoli
Libya placing at number three while the
threat of Boko Haram gave Lagos Nigeria
the lowest stability score of all 140
countries and a place at the second
least livable city and as civil war
continues in Syria its capital Damascus
takes the spot as the planet’s most
unlivable city
number one what are the most livable
cities in the world at Number ten
Germany’s Hamburg kicked off a list and
although it scored higher than number
nine with culture and environment as
well as had a perfect infrastructure
score Helsinki Finland scored higher in
terms of stability at number eight was
Auckland New Zealand with Perth
Australia just creeping ahead to seven
thanks to Auckland’s lower health care
score the next two spots were a tie
between Adelaide Australia and Calgary
Canada but that wasn’t Canada’s only
city in the top five in fact the country
continued with Toronto taking fourth
place and Vancouver coming in at number
three as Canada’s third and highest City
in the top ten
Vancouver beat Toronto superior
stability with a perfect score in
culture and environment then it really
came down to the wire for the top two
out of an overall score of 100 Vienna
Austria took the second spot with an
overall ranking of ninety 7.4 while
Melbourne Australia just took the top
spot with 97.5 thanks to a better score
for culture and environment
