What is the World's Easiest City to Live in?
« on: June 10, 2009, 03:36:56 PM »
Vancouver is the world's easiest city to live in while Harare is the toughest, a survey said Monday putting Europe and north America at the top while many African and Asian cities struggle behind.

Canadian and Australian cities hold six of the top 10 slots in the Economist Intelligence Unit's liveability poll, which ranks cities on five factors: health-care, stability, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

"At the other end of the ranking, most of the poorest-performing locations are in Africa or Asia, where civil instability and poor infrastructure present significant challenges," said the survey's authors.

In ratings ranging from zero (intolerable) to 100 percent (ideal), Vancouver scores 98 percent, "benefiting from strong Canadian infrastructure," while Harare languishes on 37.5 "thanks to the unfolding crisis in Zimbabwe."

At the top end of the global easy-living scale, Vienna is in second place followed by Melbourne, Toronto, Perth, Calgary, Helsinki and Geneva, with Sydney and Zurich in joint ninth place.

The Japanese city of Osaka is just outside the top 10 on 13th place, and Tokyo is at joint 19th with Frankfurt.

European cities where life is generally not hard include Stockholm and Hamburg, Germany in 14th place, as well as Paris in 17th spot, Frankfurt in 19th, Copenhagen in 21st and Berlin in 22nd.

"With the exception of high scores in Australasia and some Asian centres, most of the better-scoring locations are based in the more developed regions of western Europe and North America," said the study.

A string of US cities fill the rankings from 30th to 50th position -- Washington DC in 35th place, Los Angeles in 48th -- followed by another smattering of European conurbations: London is in 51st spot, Rome 52nd while Athens has western Europe's lowest showing in 63rd spot, on 81.2 percent.

Any city with a score above 80 percent "will have few, if any, challenges to living standards," said the survey.

Lower down the orders come Moscow in 69th spot, Beijing in 76th, Johannesburg on joint 92nd with Brazil's Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, and Bangkok in 100th place.

The bottom rankings are occupied by a swathe of Asian and African cities: Manila in 108th, New Delhi in joint 114th spot with Cairo, Mumbai in 120th, Nairobi 122nd and Lusaka 126th.

Cities scoring below 50 percent -- which "present daily challenges to living standards" according to the authors -- include Tehran in 129th place, Karachi, Pakistan in 135th and Lagos in 136th.

The bottom three are Algiers, Dhaka and Harare -- where President Robert Mugabe called Sunday for leaders to "make Africa a continent of opportunity for all its people," as Zimbabwe struggles to emerge from an economic meltdown. - AFP

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Poor Manila, being heaped among the bottom cities.

And when you go to these top-ranking cities, which earned their place because of excellent health care, stability, culture and environment, education and infrastructure, you find out that many of those who provide health care, work as guards, policemen and military personnel, enliven the cultural and artistic life, teach the young and build the bridges, roads and canals are no other than FILIPINOS.

I have the intentions of returning back to Bohol when the time comes for my retirement, but Tagbilaran is not an easy place to stay.
After my long years of stay in Germany it has given me some second thoughts, aside  from the fact that my children are here.

Manay, according to an Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Policy Center, Tagbilaran is one of the 20 Most Competitive Cities in the Philippines in 2005 and 2007, and First in the Quality of Life Category for the same 2 years.

Siyempre, mabag-o gyud atong quality standard after living long years in the top-ranking livable cities in the world.

Still, there's no place like home, and home is where your heart is.

Manay, low-cost, high-quality ra ba akong deodorant--tawas. Murag Tagbilaran, low cost , relatively high quality of life. Not unexpectedly,  I found a lot of inconveniences during my short stays, but overall, if I had to choose a place to live in the Philippines, it will be dear old Bohol.
