經濟學人智庫（EIU）的一份調研報告公布了全球140個大城市的評級。報告主要考察醫療健康、教育、穩定、文化與環境以及基礎設施等方面，利用定性和定量分析方法給城市打分。分值范圍由1到100，分值越低說明越無法忍受，分值越高代表越宜居。EIU稱，調查覆蓋了人們可能希望居住或者游覽的城市。

墨爾本在醫療衛生、教育和基礎設施三項贏得滿分100分，穩定方面得到95分，文化和環境兩項得分為95.1分，最后總分為97.5分，在調查的140座城市中名列第一。

A report released by the?Economist Intelligence Unit(EIU) assigned a rating to 140 of the world’s major cities in the categories of health care, education, stability, culture and environment, and infrastructure, using both qualitative and quantitative factors to score cities across the five categories. The scores range from 1-100, where 1 is considered intolerable and 100 is considered ideal. According to the EIU, the survey addresses cities that people might want to live in or visit.

Melbourne received perfect scores in health care, education, and infrastructure, and 95 out of 100 in stability, and a 95.1 out of 100 in culture and environment. The city boasted an overall score of 97.5 out of 100, to make it the highest out of the 140 cities surveyed.

奧地利首都維也納以97.4分緊隨其后，與墨爾本的分數僅相差0.1。

Closely trailing the Australian city was Austria’s capital of Vienna, with a score of 97.4 out of 100, only 0.1 percentage point from stealing Melbourne’s No. 1 spot.

加拿大的溫哥華和多倫多分別排在第三和第四名，該國另一城市卡爾加里和澳大利亞南部城市阿德萊德并列第五。今年悉尼跌出前十，去年調查中排在第七位。西澳大利亞州首府珀斯今年位居第七。

Canada’s Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary ranked third and fourth respectively, as Calgary, Canada tied for fifth with Australia’s southern city of Adelaide. Sydney dropped from the top 10 this year after being ranked seventh in the 2015 study. Perth, in Western Australia, took seventh for this year.

報告還顯示，中東和北非的許多城市的宜居水平大幅下滑，主要因為極端組織伊斯蘭國（ISIS）肆虐，影響了這些國家和城市。

在今年的調查中，利比亞首都的黎波里僅得35.9分，敘利亞首都大馬士革宜居程度下滑最大，在140個城市之中排名墊底。報告稱，大馬士革得分只有30.2分，過去五年宜居程度劇降26.1%。EIU指出，由于戰亂局勢升級，游客去這些城市旅游的可能性很小，但調查還是將這些地方納入評比，因為和過去幾年相比局勢已經相對穩定。

以下是全球十大最宜居城市及評分。

1、澳大利亞，墨爾本：97.5

2、奧地利，維也納：97.4

3、加拿大，溫哥華：97.3

4、加拿大，多倫多：97.2

5、加拿大，卡爾加里：96.6

6、澳大利亞，阿德萊德：96.6

7、澳大利亞，珀斯：95.9

8、新西蘭，奧克蘭：95.7

The report also showed that a number of cities in the Middle East and North Africa have shown a sharp decline in livability, as extreme jihadi group ISIS continues to spread across countries and cities in those regions.

Tripoli, Libya’s capital city, scored only 35.9 out of 100, while Damascus, Syria, had the sharpest decline in livability, ranking last out of the 140 cities surveyed. According to the report, Damascus has a score of just 30.2 out of 100, and its livability has declined 26.1% over the past five years. Tourists are unlikely to visit these cities due to escalating hostilities, the EIU notes, but were included in the survey because they were deemed relatively stable just a few years ago.

These are the 10 most livable cities in the world and their scores:

1.Melbourne, Australia: 97.5

2. Vienna, Austria: 97.4

3. Vancouver, Canada: 97.3

4. Toronto, Canada: 97.2

5. Calgary, Canada: 96.6

6. Adelaide, Australia: 96.6

7. Perth, Australia: 95.9

8. Auckland, New Zealand: 95.7

9. Helsinki, Finland: 95.6

10. Hamburg, Germany: 95
