^^ You & your kind did demonstrate your contributions to London or wherever you live. You should relocate to Waziristan, maybe then you shall respect the fact that nation building takes time in young countries.

its fine guys...we dont need any survay to tell our cities are worse... I always want things to improve here in Bangalore atleat in Cleanliness..it feels very sad to see garbage everywhere.. infrastructure is one more issue..which takes time but just imagine to Put so many people within limited area as our cities....if the Top cities face our issues i dont think they will remian in top for long. Atleast poor people are able to get a living out of our cities which is more important as of now..

Mumbai :hehe:

Three other Australian cities in the top 10 included the country's capital Sydney, which ranked sixth best, while Perth and Adelaide bagged a joint eighth slot, the latest Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) Global Liveability Survey revealed.

Abe sukhilala, the survey was conducted by another group. The report was written by the website. How can an error in the website lead to the conclusion that the survey is unreliable?

This is the methodology of the survey - seems quite comprehensive to me.

Methodology The Economist Intelligence Unit's liveability survey How the rating works The concept of liveability is simple: it assesses which locations around the world provide the best or the worst living conditions. Assessing liveability has a broad range of uses, from benchmarking perceptions of development levels to assigning a hardship allowance as part of expatriate relocation packages. The Economist Intelligence Unit's liveability rating quantifies the challenges that might be presented to an individual's lifestyle in any given location, and allows for direct comparison between locations. Each city is assigned a rating of relative comfort for over 30 qualitative and quantitative factors across five broad categories: stability; healthcare; culture and environment; education; and infrastructure. Each factor in each city is rated as acceptable, tolerable, uncomfortable, undesirable or intolerable. For quali¬tative indicators, a rating is awarded based on the judgment of in–house analysts and in–city contributors. For quantitative indicators, a rating is calculated based on the relative performance of a number of external data points. The scores are then compiled and weighted to provide a score of 1–100, where 1 is considered intolerable and 100 is considered ideal. The liveability rating is provided both as an overall score and as a score for each category. To provide points of reference, the score is also given for each category relative to New York and an overall position in the ranking of 140 cities is provided. The scores are then compiled and weighted to provide a score of 1–100, where 1 is considered intolerable and 100 is considered ideal. The liveability rating is provided both as an overall score and as a score for each category. To provide points of reference, the score is also given for each category relative to New York and an overall position in the ranking of 140 cities is provided. The suggested liveability scale Companies pay a premium (usually a percentage of a salary) to employees who move to cities where living conditions are particularly difficult, and there is excessive physical hardship or notably unhealthy conditions. The Economist Intelligence Unit has given a suggested allowance to correspond with the rating. However, the actual level of the allowance is often a matter of company policy. It is not uncommon, for example, for companies to pay higher allowances—perhaps up to double the Economist Intelligence Unit's suggested level. Rating Description Suggested allowance (%) 80–100 There are few, if any, challenges to living standards 0 70–80 Day–to–day living is fine, in general, but some aspects of life may entail problems 5 60–70 Negative factors have an impact on day-to-day living 10 50–60 Liveability is substantially constrained 15 50 or less Most aspects of living are severely restricted 20 How the rating is calculated The liveability score is reached through category weights, which are equally divided into relevant subcategories to ensure that the score covers as many indicators as possible. Indicators are scored as acceptable, tolerable, uncomfortable, undesirable or intolerable. These are then weighted to produce a rating, where 100 means that liveability in a city is ideal and 1 means that it is intolerable. For qualitative variables, an "EIU rating" is awarded based on the judgment of in–house expert country analysts and a field correspondent based in each city. For quantitative variables, a rating is calculated based on the relative performance of a location using external data sources.
