Whoever has it loves home, and no one can take that away from us! However, research has shown that there are places in the world where life is healthier, easier, more organized, and places where this is not the case. The Economist magazine also made a list of the ten best cities to live in for 2017. 140 places were selected, which were evaluated according to 30 criteria. Pollution, crime rates, healthcare, infrastructure and education are just the most obvious of them.
Our cities are not among them, but we can be proud of our northern neighbors. The list and order of the top 10 cities is exactly the same as last year, but the level of quality of life has improved for the first time this decade.
The first place is again, for the seventh time in a row, occupied by an Australian Melbourne, followed by Austrian Vienna, and then we move again to another continent, this time across the Atlantic to Canada Vancouver. It lies a few thousand kilometers further east Toronto, which occupies the fourth place, and the fifth is shared by the Australians Adelaide and Canadian Calgary. For now, we are only walking from Canada to Australia, with a stopover in Austria. Let's move on. Seventh place belongs to Australia Perth, and then we head to the southeast, where New Zealand is in eighth place Auckland. The last two places in the top ten belong to to Helsinki and Hamburg.
The interesting thing is that these cities are kind of medium in size and apparently therefore easier to manage. Megalomaniacal London, New York, Moscow and Cuidad de Mexico are probably just that, too big.
What do you think the mayor of Ljubljana would add to this list?
