New City Livability Rankings

Here.

Never heard of Monocle Magazine, but their criteria and 3-month research consisted of:

• International Connections/Quality Airport
• Violent Crime (Lack Thereof - seeya most American Cities)
• State Education & Healthcare
• Hours of Sunshine/Avg.Temps
• Cost/Quality of Public Transport
• Local Media
• Access to Nature/Greenspace

Pretty good list. I would have to take some time to add to/subtract from it, if at all. The rankings:

1. Munich
2. Copenhagen
3. Zurich
4. Tokyo
5. Vienna
6. Helsinki
7. Sydney
8. Stockholm
9. Honolulu
10. Madrid
