Recommendation

The 2014 edition of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s survey on livability offers a succinct yet granular assessment of living conditions in 140 of the world’s cities. The survey’s ratings derive from an elaborate construct of qualitative and quantitative metrics that gauge what makes a city livable: its “stability, health care, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure.” getAbstract commends this cogent reference to executives considering relocation, human resources professionals, business travelers and economic development specialists.

Take-Aways

  • The Economist Intelligence Unit’s survey on livability assesses a range of factors in regions’ and cities’ “stability, health care, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure,” and it assigns them a numerical ranking.
  • Recent financial and political turmoil has affected living conditions throughout the world. On a scale where a score of 1 is “intolerable” and 100 “ideal,” the average global livability score is 75.33, down from 75.55 in 2013 and 76.01 in 2009.
  • Melbourne (97.5) is the top-rated city in the survey; Damascus (30.5) is at the bottom.
