Melbourne is the best city in the world to live in while Sydney, Adelaide and Perth also make the top 10 and Brisbane comes in at number 20, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit global “liveability” study.
By contrast there is not a single British city in the top 50. London, basking in the afterglow of the hugely successful Games that saw Team GB reach third place in the medal table, is judged to be just the 55th most desirable place to live in the world and has fallen in the rankings after last summer’s riots.
Manchester remains Britain’s best city according to the study, which looks at crime levels, education, health care, culture and infrastructure, but it also dropped points to reach number 51 following the widespread looting and disorder that reached its shopping centres last August.
Jon Copestake, the survey's editor, said: “UK cities have seen a slight downgrade in liveability due to the mass outbreaks of civil unrest that took place last year.
So, what? Melbourne is the greatest city on earth?
The greatest and most exciting cities - London, NYC, Paris, Tokyo, etc. are rarely the most livable. However I think London is content being the financial capital of the world, the most visited city in the world, one of the fashion capitals of the world, etc. etc.

And IDK how they've managed to come up with Manchester being the best British city, it's a ****hole.
That would be like me saying: I do not wish to travel to _ because people get gunned down at least twice a week.
And I just tried to work out where that picture from the OP is from and found lots of tweets dated when the riots were taking place instead, and there's Gaga fans spreading fake pictures of famous landmarks on fire. Typical

SEETHE at my home city sh*tting on Flopdon.
We had the Commonwealth Games in 2002 to great critical acclaim, we have two of the world's biggest football clubs in Man United and Man City, we're responsible for musical icons like The Smiths and The Stone Roses- even having our own Madchester musical movement, we've recently been discovered to be the country's fastest-growing city and we're even snatching London's wig with the movement of the BBC.
Not to mention that Canal Street remains the capital of the gay universe.
