Summary of The Global Liveability Index 2024 The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Index 2024 reveals key insights into the world’s most liveable cities. Vienna, Austria, retains its top position for the third consecutive year, scoring perfect marks in stability, healthcare, education, and infrastructure. However, a housing crisis has impacted infrastructure scores in cities like Melbourne, Sydney, and Vancouver. Western Europe emerges as the most liveable region, with cities like Copenhagen and Zurich in the top ten. The report also highlights significant declines in stability due to protests and conflicts, particularly affecting Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, Damascus remains the least liveable city globally. Despite some regions improving their scores, geopolitical conflicts and economic challenges continue to strain liveability worldwide. 🔹 Vienna tops the list for the third year. 🔹 Western Europe is the most liveable region. 🔹 Stability scores decline due to increased protests and conflicts. 🔹 Housing crises impact infrastructure scores in top cities. 🔹 Damascus remains the least liveable city. Conclusion While Western Europe currently remains the most livable region, its future status will depend on how effectively it can navigate these complex challenges. The region’s resilience, policy responses, and ability to adapt to changing circumstances will be crucial in maintaining its high livability standards amidst geopolitical and economic pressures. This dynamic situation requires ongoing assessment, and the region’s ability to remain the most livable will hinge on its capacity to balance stability, economic performance, and quality of life. #LiveabilityIndex #GlobalCities #Vienna #EconomistIntelligenceUnit #UrbanLiving #CityRanking #GlobalTrends #HousingCrisis #UrbanDevelopment #Stability #Healthcare #Education #PDF For more details, visit the Economist Intelligence: EIU website.

Each year, The Economist publishes a ranking of the cities with the best living conditions. In 2024, the Liveability Index saw slight improvements, despite geopolitical conflicts, civil unrest and housing crises. This is partly due to advances in healthcare and education in a number of cities in developing markets. As the following chart shows, Vienna has been crowned as the world’s most liveable city, having secured an impressive score of 98.4 points. The Austrian capital has come first three years in a row thanks to its high scores in the categories of stability, infrastructure, education and healthcare. The Danish capital of Copenhagen and the Swiss city of Zurich are the next two cities to round off the podium. Although both of the Australian cities of Sydney and Melbourne and Canada’s Vancouver remain in the top ten, all three cities have seen their infrastructure scores drop due to their respective housing crises. For this reason, Toronto in Canada fell to rank 12 in 2024. https://lnkd.in/gq4EwnwT
