The 10 most livable cities in the world

Copenhagen ranked No. 1 in EIU's new list. Klaus Vedfelt/Getty Images EIU released its annual global ranking of livability. The ranking of more than 100 cities is based on five measures, including healthcare and education. Copenhagen held on to the top spot. Copenhagen is still the most livable city in the world. That's based on the Economist Intelligence Unit's new ranking of 173 cities, using five measures to rank the quality of life: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. "Copenhagen's continued dominance comes down to consistency across the board rather than a single standout strength," Ana Nicholls, EIU's director of industry analysis, said. Last year, Copenhagen took the top spot from Vienna. The two cities continued to have perfect scores of 100 in a few categories this year, including perfect scores in education and infrastructure for both. Copenhagen also maintained its score of 100 for stability; this category looks at the prevalence of crime and other threats. Vienna continued to have a perfect healthcare score. EIU said all of the top cities had a perfect score of 100 for education, and almost all had a 100 for healthcare. Many of the top cities landed at 95 for stability, with the rest of the top 10 scoring perfectly. Did you move to one of the top places on the list?

Tokyo moved up this year, rounding out the top. "Tokyo's climb into the top ten is particularly striking, given that large, densely populated cities usually contend with higher crime rates and greater strain on infrastructure," Nicholls said. US cities still missed out on the top spots. At the regional level, Western Europe had the highest score, followed by North America. Below are the top 10 most livable cities. 10.
