New Delhi: India's national capital, New Delhi, features at a disappointing 111th position while 'Millennium City' Mumbai's liveability index has shot up in the past five years, says a global livability survey held by the Economist Intelligent Unit.
In the survey that ranks 140 cities across the globe, the liveability index is
determined by almost 30 factors that include stability, healthcare,
culture and environment, education, and infrastructure.
The Australian city of Melbourne has topped the survey for the fourth consecutive year.
While Mumbai has marked improvement in its liveability index, Delhi has recorded no change for the period 2009-2014.
Notably, the capital cities of neighbouring Sri Lanka and Nepal have scored
better this year with Kathmandu registering steep increase in its liveability index in the study.
Dhaka, Bangladesh, however, features on the 139 rank.
Strikingly, US cities Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles and fashion hub Paris
marked no changed in their liveability index in the past five years.
