Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) conducts a fascinating survey to determine which
cities around the world “provide the best or worst living conditions”. It uses factors such as climate,
transport, education, safety, and recreational facilities in cities. It gives scores for each, and ranks the
cities in order – from the best to the worst. For the year 2014, the top 10 cities came from Australia,
Canada, Europe, and New Zealand. Melbourne in Australia had the highest score, which means it is the
most ‘liveable’ city. Some famous cities came in the top 20, such as Tokyo (19th) and Paris (17th).
Perhaps surprisingly, Osaka (13th) had the best score in Asia. Cities with major conflicts tended to
score the lowest. In these countries, living conditions were the most difficult or dangerous. Among the
worst cities on the list were Dhaka in Bangladesh, Tripoli in Libya, and Douala in Cameroon.
