Vienna has halted Melbourne’s seven-year winning streak as the world’s most liveable city, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. Three of the top 10 cities remain in Australia, while three more are in Canada. Toronto tied with Tokyo for seventh place, and none of the major financial centers made the top 10.
My 15 minutes of fame, as Grazia UK?spoke to me about what makes Vienna so liveable. And yes, I did totally mention our ridiculously cheap wine -> https://lnkd.in/gjtbkdy
Go Calgary!? Proud to be living in one of the world's most liveable cities.
The city of Calgary ranked number four on?the most liveable cities globally list. Calgary scored 97.5 out of a possible 100. The rankings are determined based on stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.? https://lnkd.in/gnwC2nD
Ok so we might not have the most liveable city title but Melbourne skyline still looks amazing from the roof plant level (36)of the Australia's first dual-branded high-rise hotel at 399 lt Lonsdale st. With practical completion around the corner, WSP is delighted to have collaborated with AccorHotels, Wellsmart Group, K2LD Architecture & Interiors and Crema Construction to deliver this project. Of course no project is complete without a team photo! #WeAreWSP

There’s big changes in the just announced The Economist world’s most liveable cities’ rankings. A new leader (Vienna) grabs the headlines, but more significant are the four cities which dropped out of the top ten (Auckland, Hamburg, Helsinki and Perth) and the four they were replaced with (Copenhagen, Osaka, Sydney and Tokyo). Australian/Canadian cities make up six of the top ten. Auckland dropped 4 places from 8th to 12th, but it’s annual liveability slightly increased. None of other former top ten cities also went backwards, however all have been overtaken by cities making greater progress. In Osaka, it’s been the quality and availability of public transport and crime rate reduction. Sydney showcased what it has been doing in the recent World Cities Summit, which I cover in my article - also below. In it I also challenge the New Zealand government that if they want their urban challenges more effectively resolved, they need to be much better connected to the innovations and technology transformation happening in other cities. Let’s hope these results spur a healthy competitive response! #urban #cities #transformations #leading #howto #rankings #global World Cities Summit article: https://lnkd.in/f7Z59En Economist report: https://lnkd.in/ffFp4W6
