Melbourne Named World’s Most Liveable City – But What’s The UK Number One?

Manchester has beaten London in a new poll of the world’s best cities to live in.

For the fifth year in a row Melbourne, Australia, top the list compiled by Economist Intelligence Unit – but, in the UK, the northwestern city reigned supreme.

London didn’t make the top 50th – coming 53rd – whereas Manchester came 46th.

The Global Liveability Survey rates cities out of 100 in the areas of health care, education, stability, culture and environment and infrastructure, with Melbourne achieving a near perfect 97.5.

Vienna, Austria, came in second place, with Vancouver and Toronto, both in Canada, third and fourth. Adelaide in Australia completed the top five.

Helsinki, Finland, and Zurich, Switzerland, were the only other European representatives in the top 10, aside from the Austrian capital.

London, which ranked 55th in 2014, was beaten again by Manchester, which climbed from 51st.

A​ndrew Stokes, chief executive at Marketing Manchester, told the Manchester Evening News that he wasn’t surprised by the city’s success.

“Manchester has been on an upward trajectory for the best part of two decades now and wherever you look – be it science, transport, culture, property, investment – there is evidence of huge positive change helping to make life here significantly richer.“

He added: “We’ve got award-winning museums and galleries, a packed calendar of theatre and cultural events, a burgeoning food and drink sector and class sports institutions like Manchester United and Manchester City throwing a global spotlight on to the city each weekend.”
