Which is the most liveable city in the world? According to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Liveability Ranking,

Melbourne, Australia has out-ranked 140 other cities for the second year in a row.

Using a 1-100 point grading with 100 considered ideal, the survey's categories include stability, healthcare, education, infrastructure, culture and environment.

Melbourne received maximum points in the areas of education, healthcare and infrastructure and only lost a few points in crime and culture.

Lord Mayor Robert Doyle is pleased with the results and says "What this tells us is that on a world scale, that there isn't a more liveable city and I think that's a great outcome for our city."

According to EIU, Australian and Canadian cities continue to dominate the top ten with 4 Australian cities listed and 3 Canadian cities, including Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary.

“Those that score best tend to be mid-sized cities in wealthier countries with a relatively low population density.”

The City of Dhaka in Bangladesh is ranked last on the list as the least liveable city with the same score they received last year of 38.7.
