Melech 9,900 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Monocle, the urbane lifestyle magazine founded in 2007, has named Munich, Germany the most livable city in the world in 2018. In this twelfth edition of its Quality of Life Survey, Monocle scoured the globe for cities, big and small, that combine healthy work-life balances with happy residents and effective public services. Munich jumps up from third place in 2017, replacing Tokyo in the top spot in this year’s survey. Munich strikes a strong balance between a city that’s fun to live in yet runs like a well-oiled machine. The city’s public transportation is comfortable and clean, the streets are safe and well-maintained, and its airport, which offers connections to over two hundred international destinations, was recently ranked number six in the world. As a result, Munich is highly international; with eighteen universities attracting international students and a higher percentage of foreign residents than Berlin, Munich has preserved its rich Bavarian roots while enabling other cultures to thrive, too. As Monocle’s Robert Bound explains, “Beer gardens remain the classic summer hangout. The city’s proximity to the Alps, as well as lakes and rivers, means that hiking, skiing, cycling and sailing have been favored pastimes for over a century. Plenty of public space means that everybody gets to enjoy their city.” 1. Munich, Germany 2. Tokyo, Japan 3. Vienna, Austria 4. Zurich, Switzerland 5. Copenhagen, Denmark 6. Berlin, Germany 7.

But then with each person each one of these things matters more or less, For example, public transport housing and crime rates matters more to me than population density. So I think these lists can accurately tell you the top 10 or 50 liveable cities, but which one of those is number 1 for me entirely depends on each individuals personal tastes Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

Still, the general trend is useful. Germany is very livable, USA is not that livable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
