How is the Global Livability Index measured?
Every year, the Economist Intelligence assesses cities around the world to determine the “most livable” one based on five parameters:
- Stability
- Healthcare system
- Culture and environment
- Education
- Infrastructure
How did Copenhagen become one of the most livable cities?
Denmark’s beautiful capital scored 98 points out of 100 across the five categories, trailing Vienna in first place only by 0.4 points. Two other European cities made the top five, with Zurich in third and Geneva in the fifth places.
As the index’s creators point out, Copenhagen’s and other cities' modest size allows for a lower crime rate and less congested roads and transport systems. Furthermore, Copenhagen’s balance and stability in every aspect offer a great solution to the globally expanding cost-of-living crisis.
