These are the world's top 10 most livable cities
However, there are a number of cities around the world where citizens are happy, social services, are improving, and economies are growing.
These places routinely make the list of the world's most livable cities. Using factors such as crime, health care, culture, and access to transportation, the Economist has put together its annual list of the cities that have the highest standard of living.
And, despite all the chaotic news, the average standard of living still managed to rise in a number of major cities around the world - which helped bring the global average livability metric up for the first time in a decade, reports The Economist.
Cities such as Melbourne, Australia, and Vancouver, Canada, have been mainstays on the list for years, while Sydney, Australia lost its spot in the top ten this year.
