The results of a survey that determines which places in the world are the most expensive to live in are known. Can you guess which cities topped the list?
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.
The world has evolved incredibly fast in the last 100 years, so it's almost hard to imagine how some things have changed in that time. Some cities have been "under the knife" countless times in recent decades and have become unrecognizable from the past. The most beautiful example is Dubai, which was more than a desert a decade and a half ago, but today it is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, where machines hum 24 hours a day and where the cityscape changes practically every day. But Dubai is far from an isolated case.
Summer is the time when, in search of a relaxed break, we take vacations by the sea, lakes and rivers, in the mountains and on remote exotic islands, far away from everyday life and even further from the hustle and bustle of the city. Sometimes we take a tent with us, other times we prefer to stay in a luxurious hotel. Just when we think we've experienced everything, an interesting alternative appears. Glamping - an excellent hybrid of "glamorous" and "camping" - is high on our holiday wish list, perhaps being supplanted by the latest and even trendier urban glamping - glamorous camping in the embrace of city walls, which includes, among other things, sleeping on the roofs of our favorite (many )city.
Traffic is created by cars, even in city centers. After we've been living with cars for over a hundred years, and most cities are car-centric, some people are slowly starting to realize that cars don't actually belong in an urban space or a city center. And they are not only led to this realization by terrible numbers from the chronicle and the smog indicator. Cars are simply no longer a convenient means of transportation. In London, for example, today, traffic moves slower than a bicycle. So let's take a look at which cities are on the way to making the car "persona non grata".
