Vancouver - World's  Most Liveable City

Vancouver has been voted the world's most  livable city, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

Assessing the living conditions of 132 cities around the world, the EIU survey ranked the cities on 40 individual indicators grouped into five categories: stability; healthcare; culture and environment; education; and infrastructure. The liveability ranking of Vancouver rated highest due partially to low crime, little threat from instability or terrorism and a highly developed infrastructure. Along with Vancouver, cities from Australia, Switzerland, Austria, as well as Canadian destinations Toronto, Calgary and Montreal, formed the top ten.

This ranking reaffirms the view that Vancouver is one of the top destinations in the world to both live in and visit.
