The ‘liveability’ of a city refers to how pleasant it is to live there. This is measured by several groups, most prominently the Economist Intelligent Unit, which produces an annual 'Global Liveability Index' that considers 30+ indicators across five categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. In 2025, its top 10 most liveable cities were Copenhagen, Vienna, Zurich, Melbourne, Geneva, Sydney, Osaka, Auckland, Adelaide, and Vancouver.
