Wellington, New Zealand is the world’s most liveable city for the second year running
City tops Deutsche Bank’s list of 50 cities ranking, which looks at factors like safety, health care and cost of living
Wellington has topped the world quality of life rankings for the second year in a row.
The city shocked many when it was ranked the most liveable city in the world last year, but it won’t surprise Wellingtonians to learn it has kept that number one spot in 2018, said mayor Justin Lester.
For the second year running, Wellington has topped Deutsche Bank’s list of 50 cities with the best quality of life, beating Zurich, Copenhagen, Edinburgh and Vienna.
The rankings look at purchasing power, safety, health care, cost of living, property price to income ratios, traffic commutes, pollution and climate.
“If quality of life is your only concern, then Wellington continues to be the best place of our 50 cities to live in,” said Deutsche Bank report authors.
