Australia's global livable ranking has fallen in the top ten cities

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Affected by the epidemic in the new crown pneumonia, global livable cities are shuffled. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported on the 23rd that the latest report of the global livable city list prepared by the British "Economics" information department was released. The Austrian capital Vienna won the world's most livable cities in the world. Australian only one city was shortlisted in the top ten, and his achievements were far less than last year.

It is reported that the overall ranking of Australian cities has declined. Adelaide, who ranked second last year, fell to 30th, Perth fell from 6th to 32nd, and Brisbane fell from 10th to 27th. The report quoted the analysis of the global livable cities that the main cause of the decline in ranking was related to the blockade and restrictions caused by the epidemic of new crown pneumonia. It has been lost since last year. "It is also affected by the new crown, and the ranking of New Zealand cities has fallen" more powerful ". According to the report, Auckland fell from the first place last year to the 34th place, while Wellington "fell" 46.

Regarding the performance of Australia and New Zealand's "ups and downs", global livable cities reported that in early 2021, Australia and New Zealand "benefited when the new crown vaccine was scarce", they closed the border to reduce cases and maintain high livability; The two countries have been attacked by the new tide, and "no longer have the advantages compared with well -vaccinated European and Canadian cities." However, some Australians said that this is "not a fact." The Australian Broadcasting Corporation quoted the Professor of Melbourne Royal University of Science and Technology Billy Jarus Cordi, "There are only about 8 million people in Austria, we have 25 million people, they have 20,000 new crown pneumonia death cases, and we only have 9,000 cases. "

The global livable city list covers more than 170 cities in the world, and the city's livable ranking is based on the cities' scores such as stability, medical care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. With the report released by the global livable cities, the impact of changes in epidemic on cities has significant impact on cities. Overall, with the ebb of the epidemic sealing measures, the livable index of cities around the world this year has risen overall, but it has not returned to the height before the epidemic. At present, Western European countries have basically liberalized epidemic control, which has become one of the important reasons for major cities in Western Europe to rank sharply on the list and the overall ranking.
