Australia: home to the world’s most liveable cities

16 August 2012

Four Australian cities have once again ranked amongst the top ten places to live, as the Economist Intelligence Unit (EUI) declares Melbourne the world’s most liveable city for the second consecutive year.

In 2012, Melbourne (1st), Adelaide (6th), Sydney (7th) and Perth (9th) have ranked ahead of more than 130 cities evaluated by the EUI’s annual Global Liveability Survey.

The survey ranks cities according to five criteria – healthcare, education, infrastructure, culture and crime – to assess which global locations provide the best living conditions.

Whilst the survey’s top tier rankings have not changed dramatically in the past year, the EUI says infrastructure development has been a key driver of improvement particularly in Australia.
