Melbourne voted most livable city again niggaaasss. You all better start thinking about moving.
Melbourne ranked the world's most liveable city as other cities lose points in survey
Melbourne is officially the world's most liveable city
Bumped off Vancouver for first time in near decade
Sydney ranked at sixth, Perth and Adelaide at eighth
MELBOURNE is officially the world's most liveable city, thanks to various world crises making other cities less attractive.
Bumping Vancouver off the top spot for the first time in nearly ten years, Melbourne took out the honour in the Economist Intelligence Unit's latest survey, with Sydney (sixth), Perth and Adelaide (tied eighth) also making it into the top 10.
The Canadian city slipped to third spot behind Vienna, losing points in its infrastructure score.
In a tumultuous year for the planet, several places lost liveability points, leaving it wide open for the relatively unscathed Australian cities, Economist Intelligence Unit survey editor Jon Copestake said.
"Australia, with a low population density and relatively low crime rates, continues to supply some of the world's most liveable cities," Mr Copestake said.
"Despite the rising cost of living driven by the strong Australian dollar, these cities offer a range of factors to make them highly attractive."
Much of Europe also dropped down the rankings thanks to the Euro zone’s debt crisis, and the ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings and civil wars downgraded the liveability of the Middle East and North Africa.
The Libyan capital Tripoli fell into the bottom 10 for the first time.
Athens also became a decidedly less desirable place to live after its austerity measures and civil unrest dropping it five places 67th place - below cities in emerging economies such as Montevideo in Uruguay.
At the bottom of the list of 140 cities was Harare in Zimbabwe, which scored 38.2 per cent.
Brisbane came in at number 21 on the survey, two spots ahead of Wellington but behind Auckland which was number 10.
Melbourne scored 97.5 per cent, just beating Vienna on 97.4 per cent and Vancouver on 97.3. A ranking of 100 per cent is considered ideal.
The survey ranks 140 locations as having the best or the worst living conditions, with cities scored on political and social stability, crime rates, access to quality health care, cultural events, the environment, education and the standard of infrastructure.
