Vienna top in poll for nicest city
Print Edition
VIENNA, Austria’s grand capital on the Danube river, offers the highest quality of life of all cities in the world, while the Iraqi capital Baghdad, once more took its place at the bottom of a liveability list compiled by consulting firm Mercer.
The survey of 230 cities helps companies and organizations determine compensation and hardship allowances for international staff. It uses dozens of criteria such as political stability, health care, education, crime, recreation and transport.
Global centers London, Paris, Tokyo and New York City did not even make the top 30.
Vienna’s 1.7 million inhabitants benefit from the city’s cafe culture and museums, theaters and operas. Rents and public transport costs in the city are cheap compared with other western capitals.
Switzerland’s Zurich, New Zealand’s Auckland, Germany’s Munich and Canada’s Vancouver followed Vienna in the top five of most pleasant cities to live in.
Baghdad was again ranked lowest in the world.
