    Auckland (4) retains its position as the highest-ranking city for quality of living in the region. Sydney follows at 10, Wellington at 12, Melbourne at 18 and Perth at 21. At 26, Canberra is new to the index. Singapore remains the highest-ranking Asian city at 28, followed by Japanese cities Tokyo (40), Kobe and Yokohama (both at 41), Osaka (51) and Nagoya (57). The region’s lowest-ranking cities are Dhaka in Bangladesh (206) and two cities new to the list – Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan (209) and Dushanbe in Tajikistan (210).

    A number of South East Asian cities continue to flounder in the face of increasing threats and potential attacks (political parties seeking independence, religious demonstrations, etc.). The Asia Pacific region, on the other hand, has witnessed considerable development.

    Overall, the quality of living in Asia as a region fell between 2009 and 2010.

    Asia, which is prone to experiencing natural disasters, fell victim to a number of severe earthquakes, typhoons and cyclones in 2009 (and 2010). Unfortunately, these events have had a negative effect on quality of living in some Asian/Pacific cities. Typhoon Ketsana caused flooding in Manila (Philippines) – the worst that metropolitan Manila has seen since rainfall records have been kept – and also affected parts of China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. More than 680 people died, and quality of living declined in Manila as a result of the typhoon. Indonesia, another area that regularly experiences natural disasters, also had its quality of living affected after a devastating earthquake struck Sumatra island in September 2009. According to official reports, more than 1,100 people were killed.

    Meanwhile, political instability continued to pose a major problem in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Thailand and Myanmar. Demonstrations against the government have been commonplace in Bangkok in recent years, and they are expected to continue, as there has been no sign of improvement within Thailand’s political arena in 2010.

    Although political troubles continue to be rife in many of South Asia’s countries, some nations – such as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh – experienced positive changes in their political environments. Sri Lanka’s internal stability rose slightly, following the defeat of the Tamil Tigers by the Sri Lankan army. However, the country’s level of stability is still low by international standards and it remains to be seen whether this improvement can be sustained. Elections held in Bangladesh were widely regarded as being free and fair, a development that has had a positive impact on quality of living.

    Melbourne edges out Vancouver to top liveable city list
    Melbourne skyline – file image Melbourne scored highly across a raft of categories assessing liveability

    The Australian city of Melbourne has beaten Canada’s Vancouver to the title of world’s most liveable city for the first time in almost a decade.

    Vancouver has topped the annual Global Liveability Survey since 2002, but this year fell to third behind Vienna.

    Overall, Australian and Canadian cities did well, capturing seven of the top 10 spots.

    Harare, Port Moresby and Dhaka occupied the bottom of the table.

    The cities were assessed in five categories – stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

    Vancouver missed out on the top spot because its infrastructure score had fallen due to periodic closures of a key motorway.

    MOST LIVEABLE CITIES 2011

    2: Vienna

    3: Vancouver

    4: Toronto

    5: Calgary

    6: Sydney

    7: Helsinki

    8: Perth

    9: Adelaide

    10: Auckland

    Source: Global Liveability Survey

    London was ranked 53, out of 140 cities surveyed. Honolulu, at 26, was the top US city.

    The Economist Intelligence Unit, which carried out the survey, said scores in Europe had been pushed slightly down by the eurozone crisis, while the Arab Spring had affected ratings across the Middle East and North Africa.

    “Australia, with a low population density and relatively low crime rates, continues to supply some of the world’s most liveable cities,” report editor Jon Copestake said in a statement.

    “Despite the rising cost of living driven by the strong Australian dollar, these cities offer a range of factors to make them highly attractive.”

    Melbourne was a joint winner with Vancouver in 2002.

    Mayor Robert Doyle said he was “absolutely delighted” with the news.

    ”For the first time in a decade we are now officially ranked number one,” he said. ”When you think the strong Aussie dollar militates against this, this is even more impressive.”

    Cities were scored out of 100 and the report noted that the top 10 cities were only separated by 1.8 percentage points.

      Yes,
      this is the latest survey carried out by The Economist Intelligence Unit,

      I am very glad to know Australian city leads the list ( No. 1 ) &
      there are 4 Australian cities ( largest participation )
      in 10 World’s Most Liveable Cities. 😀

      1: Melbourne ( Australia )
      6: Sydney ( My recent home town, Australia ) 😛
      8: Perth ( Australia )
      9: Adelaide ( Australia )

      In addition, Aussie weather is a lot better than Austria, Canada, Finland & New Zealand.

      The recent nick name of Australia is “Lucky Country”
      Because, we are prosperous in natural resources.

      Aussie is 11 times wider in land than Myanmar.
      But Aussie population is only one third of Myanmar.

      Australia = 2,941,300 sq-miles / with 20 millions people
      Myanmar = 253,950 sq-miles / with 60 millions people

      Dear villagers, warmly welcome from Australia. 🙂

      Aussie, Aussie, Go, Go. 😛
