VIENNA - VIENNA is the best city in the world to live while war-torn Baghdad is the worst, a survey said on Wednesday, putting Europe at the top of the rankings with Asia and Africa trailing. The Austrian capital 'retains the top spot as the city with the world's best quality of living,' British consultancy firm Mercer said in its 2010 Quality of Living Survey. Swiss cities Zurich and Geneva followed in second and third places respectively, while Vancouver in Canada and Auckland in New Zealand were joint fourth.

For its annual survey, Mercer assessed the quality of living in 221 cities worldwide, measuring them against New York with an index score of 100 points as the base city. Vienna, which also took the number one spot last year, scored a total 108.6 points, while Baghdad scored the lowest with just 14.7 points. European cities continued to dominate the top 25 cities in the survey, Mercer said, while Canadian cities also had a strong showing. Among cities in Britain, London ranked number 39, Birmingham 55 and Glasgow 57.

In the United States, the highest ranking entry was Honolulu in 31st place, followed by San Francisco in 32nd. Singapore was the top-scoring Asian city in 28th place, followed by Tokyo in 40th. Baghdad ranked 221st, remaining at the bottom of the list. It was followed by Bangui in the Central African Republic, N'Djamena in Chad, Khartoum in Sudan and Tbilisi in Georgia. Mercer also awarded cities eco rankings based on water availability and drinkability, waste removal, quality of sewage systems, air pollution and traffic congestion. Calgary in Canada came top of this list, followed by Honolulu in second place and Ottawa and Helsinki in joint third place. Port-au-Prince in Haiti ranked at the bottom of this table, Mercer said. -- AFP

Right, Vienna is the best place to live in.... Then it was Melbourne, Zurich or whatever fuck western city there is in this world.

Has it ever occurred to you that these studies could be compiled by westerners..... Different way of life, different perspective, different culture, etc....

A good to them might be a bad for us Asian....

BEST is CHONGQING

Nowhere comes near

Chongqing women like angels

When you go there you will feel like in heaven

My God, first time I went long time ago I only planned to stay a few days, in the end get re-entry and stayed as long as I could

Chongqing women, I will do anything for these angels

My God, no other women come close

Chongqing is paradise on earth

If that is the case, than why don't Easterners compile a list of the best cities in the world to live in than? No such list exists? Well, that's too bad than, I guess we just have to use this western list. Got no other alternative, right?

Better not if they get someone like beshitted. His whole list will contain only all the cities in China.
