The global liveability index also ranked the worst cities in the world to live in. What they all seem to have in common are serious social and political issues, and safety concerns.
Damascus, in Syria, is the oldest capital in the world and a major cultural center for the Arab world. However, what makes Syria the worst place to live in is the ongoing violent civil war.
Lagos, the cultural capital of Nigeria, made the list because, according to the U.S. Department of State, it is known for crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping and maritime crime.
Europe and Canada dominate the list of the best cities
European and Canadian cities dominate the list of Most Liveable Cities this year thanks to factors like stability and good infrastructure. Here are the top 10 best cities to live in:
Scandinavian cities are known for their great life quality, having free education and healthcare and low crime rates. Furthermore, Copenhagen particularly has a vibrant art and food scene.
Toronto is internationally known as a center of finance and business, as well as for the film and television industry. It’s also a great place for entrepreneurs, as it ranks 10/10 in the startup index.

Tripoli, the capital of Libya, makes the list because of its civil war. Even though it ended in 2020, violence hasn’t come to an end. Far from it, there are growing fears of a new civil war, given deadly clashes between rival groups on August.
The capital of Algeria makes the list because of increasing terrorist activity due to the presence of Islamist groups. Furthermore, there’s a lack of basic services and high unemployment.
Ethnopolitical, sectarian, militant, and criminal violence plagues Pakistan’s largest city and commercial center Karachi. A failure of the major political parties to agree to a solution threatens to destabilize all of Pakistan.
Following conflict and election-related violence in Papua New Guinea, more than 15,000 people have been internally displaced. This has also led to a disruption of education and a lack of basic services.
Social, ethnic, and religious conflicts are latent in Bangladesh, and it reflects in its capital’s daily life. Furthermore, Bangladesh is one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries, and most at risk from climate change.
With a very violent political culture, security forces have committed human rights’ violations that have not been addressed. Other human rights concerns include a severe water and sanitation crisis, forced evictions, and child marriages.
Douala is a coastal city in southwest Cameroon and the country’s economic capital. According to Human Rights Watch, at least 4,000 civilians have been killed by both government forces and armed separatist fighters since 2016 in the midst of an armed conflict that seeks independence for Anglophone regions.
Since a dictatorial regime took over Iran in 1979, its capital, Teheran, is not the flourishing city it once was. Human rights abuses have been committed by the government ever since, and have just been getting worse after the ongoing social protests that started in August.
