Vancouver, Canada
The Economist Intelligence Unit's livability also uses data from the Mercer consulting group and shows cities in Canada, Australia, Austria, Finland and New Zealand as the ideal destinations thanks to a widespread availability of goods and services, low personal risk and an effective infrastructure. The Economist Intelligence Unit has been criticized by the New York Times for being overly anglocentric, stating that "The Economist clearly equates livability with speaking English."[12]
The 2011 report placed Vancouver, Canada as the most livable city in the world, with Melbourne taking second place followed by Vienna. Jon Copestake, editor of the report, said in a statement: "Mid-sized cities in developed countries with relatively low population densities tend to score well by having all the cultural and infrastructural benefits on offer with fewer problems related to crime or congestion," [13]
Other Canadian cities also ranked highly in the survey, with Toronto and Calgary holding the 4th and 5th positions respectively. Three other Australian cities (Sydney at 7th and Perth and Adelaide tied at 8th) claimed positions in the top ten.
Harare, Zimbabwe was rated the worst city in the world to call home. African and South Asian cities were generally the worst performing in the EIU's rankings.
Pittsburgh ranked 29th tops American cities in the list just ahead of Honolulu at 30th and Los Angeles (which rose to) 44th and New York (which held onto) 56th place.
London moved up one place to 53rd while Paris came in at number 16.
The top Asian city was the Japanese city of Osaka at number 12, tying with Geneva, and beating the Japanese capital of Tokyo, which was placed 18th.[13]
