Best places to live in the world.

Reports regularly appear in the media about the best places to live – be it in Switzerland, Europe or even around the world. The search for the ideal city has always been a central theme for architects and urban planners. Alongside aesthetic identity and cultural heritage, the quality of life in cities is probably the most important criterion for an ideal city, writes the online magazine archdaily. It refers to a study published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EU), the Global Liveability Index 2024, which recognises cities that strive to constantly improve the quality of life of their inhabitants. archdaily continues: “For the third consecutive year, Vienna ranked as the most liveable city in the world followed by Copenhagen, Zurich, Melbourne, Calgary and and Geneva – attributed to their smaller populations, which contribute to lower crime rates and less congestion. In comparison with the 2023 ranking, the numbers for North American and Australian cities have been dragged down by the ongoing housing crisis.“
