What’s the most liveable city in the world?
Each year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) releases its Global Liveability Index, evaluating cities worldwide for their quality of life using 30 indicators in categories like stability, healthcare, culture, environment, education, and infrastructure.
Each city is then ranked on a 100-point scale to determine how comfortable it is to live there.
In the 2024 edition, both Melbourne and Sydney made the top ten, ranking fourth and seventh respectively.
However, this is a drop from 2023, where Melbourne was third and Sydney fourth.
“We have downgraded overall infrastructure scores for Australia, owing to an ongoing housing crisis that has led to an all-time low availability of rental properties in many of the cities,” the Economist Intelligence Unit said.
