Oxford Economics Global Cities Index report ranks Canberra as second best city in the world for quality of life. Canberra has been ruled as the alternate stylish megacity in the world for quality of life in a new report, an “ emotional feat ” driven by the capital’s cornucopia of high paying government jobs.
The ranking was revealed in the rearmost Oxford Economics Global metropolises Index published this week.
“ This emotional feat is driven by the megacity’s high inflows and low degree of income inequality, due to the vacuity of stable and high paying government jobs, ” the report said.
“ The megacity also has excellent healthcare installations and species among the loftiest in the world for life expectation. ”
Described as a “ true government megacity, ” the report said Canberrans are now among the loftiest and most inversely paid in the entire Global metropolises Index.
Its main detractors are its vulnerability to natural disasters like bushfires and slow internet pets, although it “ punches above its weight ” in advanced education.
Grenoble in France just chirruped the ‘ backcountry capital ’ to take out the top spot in the order with its “ multitude of recreation and artistic spots per person and income equivalency ”.
Following close behind Canberra was a slew of other European countries, making it the only Australian megacity to rank largely in the order.
Encyclopedically, the only Australian megacity to crack the top 10 was Melbourne, scoring the 9th spot.
New York, London, San Jose, Tokyo and Paris dominated the top five.
metropolises are scored on five orders including economics, mortal capital, quality of life, terrain and governance which are also ladened.
“ This allows us to rank the metropolises in a further holistic manner, but also identify relative strengths and weakness for each megacity across the five orders, ” the report explained.
Other Australian metropolises to feature on the global list were Sydney, Perth and Adelaide who took spot 16, 23 and 51 independently.
The harbour megacity ranked largely in the mortal capital and profitable order but fell suddenly on the casing front.
“ Property prices and rents have risen acutely in the megacity due to rapid-fire growth in population, and the casing force has not been suitable to keep up, ” the report said.
Perth scored well on environmental and profitable factors but the indicator noted the megacity was “ vulnerable to commodity price and demand oscillations ” due to its reliance on the mining sector.
Countries including India, Nigeria, Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Chad had metropolises which fell in the nethermost ten.
