The Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Liveability Index 2024 ranks 173 cities based on five categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. After years of pandemic-related scores, the latest report indicates a sharp decline in livability attributed to civil unrest, crime rates, and ongoing geopolitical tensions like the Ukraine invasion. Western Europe consistently tops the chart, showcasing strong healthcare and educational attributes, while North America ranks closely behind. Notably, no UK cities made the list, emphasizing the changing urban landscape and challenges faced by post-pandemic cities.
The 2024 EIU Global Liveability Index highlights the impact of geopolitical conflicts and domestic instability on urban livability, with countries experiencing civil unrest and housing crises seeing declines in scores.
Western Europe remains the most liveable region due to strong healthcare and education, while North America ranks second amidst emerging challenges such as crime and infrastructure decline.
