Budapest beats surprising places on the list of most liveable cities
The list of the world’s most liveable cities has been compiled once again. Unsurprisingly, Vienna has taken the top spot, as usual. The Economist Intelligence Unit has ranked the world’s cities according to health care, education, public safety, infrastructure and the environment.
The most liveable cities
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the quality of its cultural facilities, excellent infrastructure and good public safety have once again made Vienna the most liveable city in the world, as in the previous year, hvg.hu writes. As in last year’s survey, Copenhagen came second, Melbourne third and Sydney fourth.
The top 10 are Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary in Canada, followed by Zurich, Geneva and Osaka in Switzerland and Geneva and Osaka in Japan. Among Eastern European cities, Budapest is in the second section behind the leaders, just like last year.
Budapest overtakes Prague, Warsaw and Bratislava
In the 100-point ranking, Budapest was placed between 80 and 90. This puts it ahead of the region’s capitals, including Prague, Warsaw and Bratislava. In addition to livability, the Economist Intelligence Unit also looked at the most unlivable cities, with war-torn Kyiv ranked in the bottom ten.
These lists are ridiculous. You have to be a multimillionaire to be able to afford to live in a city like Geneva, while many in the top 10 are unsafe, in part or in full, even in broad daylight. I’ll take a Central or East European city like Budapest, Warsaw or Belgrade over most of the “top” ones any day of the week.
