The 10 most livable cities in the world
- EIU released its annual global ranking of livability.
- The ranking of more than 100 cities is based on five measures, including healthcare and education.
- Copenhagen held on to the top spot.
EIU said all of the top cities had a perfect score of 100 for education, and almost all had a 100 for healthcare. Many of the top cities landed at 95 for stability, with the rest of the top 10 scoring perfectly.

With a drop in culture and environment, Zurich's rank fell, but the city still made the top 10. Tokyo moved up this year, rounding out the top.
“Tokyo’s climb into the top ten is particularly striking, given that large, densely populated cities usually contend with higher crime rates and greater strain on infrastructure,” Nicholls said.
US cities still missed out on the top spots. At the regional level, Western Europe had the highest score, followed by North America.
Below are the top 10 most livable cities.
